Distilled Yosemite Classic Climbs for You October 25, 2003
A book deserving of its brandname- SuperTopo. The topos are well,... super. Chris and the SuperTopo crew have distilled down a selection of climbs that you can't go wrong with. It includes solid information and superb history by locals or often from the main-man himself of Yosemite Golden Age history, Steve Roper. Anecdotes, approach and retreat information, anchor conditions, and pitch-by-pitch detailed topos that are really accurate elevate Yosemite Ultra Classics to a new level in guidebook making. Granted, it doesn't have all the climbs that are good in Yosemite, but it is one hell of a start covering all the ranges, except the most extreme ratings. For a few dollars, this is either a great book on its own to get you started on the Valley or a useful expansion to the Reid guides.
