Summary: Breadth good, depth lacking
Comment: 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.
Rating: 3
Summary: Wide Range of Areas, but Somewhat Brief Overviews
Comment: 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.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is a must have book for your travel in Colorado
Comment: I have spent my last two summer vacations traveling through Colorado with my family. This book has been our guide for our travels on back roads. The information has been correct and well laid out. If you enjoy travel on two lane roads versus freeways, where you can see the country around you, this book is for you. I have used the authors book for New Mexico as well. enjoy your trip!
