Product Description
Cliffs of every rock type and size adorn Colorado's peaks and plateaus, offering the rock climber a spectacular arena to pursue the vertical craft. Thousands of crags and cliffs are scattered across Colorado, yielding every type of climbing experience form big-wall aid routes and long, multi-pitch free climbs to short overhung limestone testpieces and fiercely difficult boulder problems. Rock Climbing Colorado is the only guide available that covers all the major climbing areas in the state with routes ranging form 5.0 to 5.14-including big cliffs and faces of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison to the smaller crags and outcrops of Pikes Peak, Boulder, Rifle, Shelf Road, Elevenmile Canyon, and much more. In all 37 areas covered, this guide provides first-hand information for area overviews and climbing histories, route betas and topos, as well as detailed maps, and photos. Also included are suggestions for equipment and approach and descent information as well as listings for shops, gyms, and guide services. Rock Climbing Colorado is essential for planning your next trip to one of Colorado's premier climbing areas.

 A falcon guide: Rock Climbing Colorado March 15, 2008
If you want a very general over view of Colorado that was written in 1995 this is the book for you! Otherwise, search your local climbing shops for newer up to date references. This book was great for getting me to the spot, but I often found that these areas had more to offer, especially, for easy climbs, or a sport climber than the guide leads you to believe. When arriving to a new place, well prepared and willing to spend quite a bit off time exploring rather than climbing, there will be no disappointment with this book.

this book has an excellent overview of the climbing areas in the state. there are not many details for one specific area. good for a general look at climbing in colorado.

As always this series continues to offer very good information in regards to how to find climbing routes and the pro that is required on the routes. Gives excellent in depth information as to how to get to the specific climbing areas and even what is available for camping/nightlife etc in the surrounding areas. A big plus to have.

In Rock Climbing Colorado, Mr. Green takes on the ambitious task of cataloguing the major climbing areas in the state of Colorado. While this guide book is an excellent introduction to the routes extant in Colorado, it suffers from its ambition; too many times, I have been at the base of the climb wondering what it was and what it was rated. Rock Climbing Colorado does an admirable job of describing select climbs at certain crags; however, local guidebooks will typically be far superior. To his credit, Mr. Green cites the corresponding local guidebooks in each area's overview.Rock Climbing Colorado is an excellent resource for planning a climbing trip; however, once at the crag, the intrepid climber will quickly realize how much he needs the local guidebook.
 Wide Range of Areas, but Somewhat Brief Overviews April 6, 1999

Where Green's guide excels is in the wide range of rock climbing areas included in the guide. He includes many locations that even Colorado locals, like myself, did not know about. This feature will prove useful for anyone road-tripping in CO. or anyone wanting to discover new rock in the state. This book has a major drawback though, it fails to give extensive topo for any one area. The book will only cover about half of an area's climbs in order to save the book from being any thicker than it already is. To the climber looking for thorough beta on a local crag, this book won't cut it, and one will find a specialized guidebook much more beneficial.
