Reprint of Cascade Alpine Guide (Beckey)

[mattp]

I'm pretty sure I posted something last year, but Mountaineers Press is reprinting the Cascade Alpine Guide, volume 2 (Steven Pass to Rainy Pass). While they are not ready to rebuild the book there is some room for corrections.

 

Fred has updated Glacier Peak and Forbidden Peak entries to reflect current climbing habits and current concerns at these and some other destinations. We've tried to incorporate current conditions on major approach roads like the Suiattle, the Stehekin, and the White Chuck. Some new routes are added and some information regarding other peaks have been updated. There still may be time to incorporate further corrections but the text is going to "design" this week.

 

Any last minute suggestions?

So did Mr Beckey do an updated version of any of his Alpine guides before he passed? or whats out already are his last publications?

They released a minor update to the green guide last year but it was not a new edition. What's out are his last publications.
