Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Perfect beginning/intermediate guide   August 14, 2008
This book is perfect for climbers who only need descriptions of routes 5.10a and under. (The author includes highly rated 5.10b/c routes, as well.) It gets discouraging looking at books where I have to flag the few pages that refer to climbs I can do. This book is reasonably priced and full of great pictures, information, and climbs I can do. What more could I want in a guide?


5 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll in Oregon   November 21, 2006

If you are planning a climbing trip to Oregon this Rock Climbing Guide is a must. The routes of Smith Rock are worth the price alone. This guide is for beginning and intermediate climbers (5.0 to 5.10a). The route descriptions, pictures, and diagrams are awesome. Climb some of the states most beautiful locations. This book is a great guide and instrutor.
