Jacks Canyon Sport Climbing

Very nice tips on local scene. Three star climb organization. Easy to follow directions and trail map.

Great book! Wish it had color pictures but for the price it's wonderful!

Nice simple layout, minimal but sufficient info on routes. Area could use better rating consistency, and a better way to identify routes for folks not familiar with the area (i.e. occasional painted names, bolt hanger tags) .

Torn about grade ratings :-S

Great guidebook for a really nice place to sport climb. Well planned routes are clearly described in this book. The author is very knowledgeable about the area and is very generous with her information.

The recently released and long awaited 2009 edition to "Jacks Canyon Sport Climbing" will make you want to grab your rope, quick-draws and close friends to hit the crag.For the first time ever we have a complete guide for the Jacks Canyon area crags. In years past (eerr decade) if you wanted to check out 'Lost World' or 'The Asylum' you had better have known someone who was privy to such information. But now, YOU are in the know!The guide itself is compact enough to handle easily with nice weight paper and glossy cover. The expense of high-gloss photos has been cut and replaced with black and white photos of which unfortunately are a bit dark but the saving of cost (hello consumers, that's our money saved) is worth the loss of color photos. Besides, who hasn't had ink smear on those glossy pages when trying to write notes anyways?Deidre Burton added to the guide with fun facts and extra tidbits for the reader yet kept true to previous guides by keeping the beta to a minimum.Whether you're a veteran to Jacks or looking to visit for the first time, this guide is a great value and worth the purchase.
