| 1. |  | The Sierra High Route: Traversing Timberline Country from Mountaineers Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  I have the original copy of SHR in the Sierra Club tote book series.

| 2. |  | Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route: "Tourist Route" My Ass from iUniverse, Inc. Price: $9.95 Customer Review: This IS the best book I've read on my mental prep for Kilimanjaro. Funny at times - a bit of laugh-out-loud toilet humor - but serious about what you experience during summit day. The author is descriptively succinct about the attempt in his short, easy to read publication. |

| 3. |  | The Last Step: The American Ascent of K2 from Mountaineers Books Price: $19.75 Customer Review:  First the short version: Written by Rick Ridgeway (one of the summiters), this is a detailed, well-written account of the hardships, team conflicts and eventual triumph (though almost at the cost of their lives) of the 1978 American K2 expedition; with the best color photos of the mountain, the... |

| 5. |  | Rock Climbing Joshua Tree, 2nd (Regional Rock Climbing Series) from Falcon Price: $23.25 Customer Review: This book was the basis for Jtree climbing knowledge for years...Now that Randy Vogel already has another guidebook out (which is really good by the way!) and is releasing another one this upcoming January (2008) this book may become out-dated, but still a really good tool if you lack the two new... |

| 6. |  | Climbing Mt. Whitney from Spotted Dog Pr Inc Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Book contained a lot of good information - I am a novice, best part for me was the info on how to acclimatize and pointing out the different areas near Mt. Whitney to do that. |

| 7. |  | The Trad Guide to Joshua Tree: 60 Favorite Climbs from 5.5 to 5.9 from Colorado Mountain Club Press Price: $14.93 Customer Review: I used this book in conjunction with the Vogel Guides: Rock Climbing Joshua Tree & Rock Climbing Joshua Tree West. The interesting thing about this book is many of the routes don't have any stars in the Vogel guides but are stellar. Funny Bone comes to mind as the best route we did with Vogel... |

| 10. |  | Trekking in the Annapurna Region (Nepal Trekking Guide) from Trailblazer Publications Customer Review: This guide was all you need for trekking in the Annapurna Region. The maps were great as were the recommendations on guesthouses, trekking times and food. People with other trekking guides (IE LP) asked to read my guide as they realized how good it was. |

| 11. |  | Climbing and Hiking in the Wind River Mountains, 2nd from Falcon Price: $22.50 Customer Review: I bought this book to plan a week-long backpacking trip. It is very similar in concept to Secor's "High Sierra" guide for CA's Sierra Nevada: Adequate description of the trails and off-trail passes, and comprehensive information for climbers on about everything climbable. I am not a technical... |

| 12. |  | Canyoneering: A Guide to Techniques for Wet and Dry Canyons (How To Climb Series) from Falcon Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Overall a nicely illustrated, high quality book, but here's the bottom line: if you already have traditional, multi-pitch rockclimbing experience, you don't need this book to get into canyoneering. If you don't, get some real experience with a qualified partner / guide before heading down a... |

| 13. |  | A Climber's Guide to the Teton Range Third Edition(Climber's Guide to the Teton Range) from Mountaineers Books Price: $23.10 Customer Review: This is the classic guide book for the Tetons. Many pictures and topos are provided to help route finding, however most topos are for the more difficult routes. The text is very descriptive. The book is heavy so be prepared to make photo copies before your climb. |

| 14. |  | Selected Climbs in the Cascades from Mountaineers Books Customer Review: This guidebook presents more detailed descriptions of the most popular routes in the Cascades than are available in Beckey's guides. So it's definitely helpful for newer climbers who really want to have as much detail as possible about the routes they are about to tackle. That said, you will... |

| 15. |  | The Falling Season: Inside the Life and Death Drama of Aspen's Mountain Rescue Team from Mountaineers Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review: The falling season is a tough book to review, since I am involved in SAR work, not in Colorado though. First off the author is an excellent writer and keeps the book moving along. He gets into the personalities of the team members and when you do SAR work you realize that it is the... |

| 16. |  | Rock Climbing Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland from Falcon Price: $19.80 Customer Review:  This guide is not very good. We bought during our trip to Seneca rocks and quickly discovered that it was totaly useless. It only covers major areas and descriptions and directions are preety bad. If you are looking for good climbing guide for Maryland get 'Climb Maryland' by Indy Kochte |

| 17. |  | Rock Climbing Joshua Tree West: Quail Springs to Hidden Valley Campground (Regional Rock Climbing Series) from Falcon Price: $26.58 Customer Review: I went to J-Tree for the first time last week. I bought this book at Nomad Adventures in Joshua Tree. Because it's one of three volumes, more detail is given for the routes. There are just too damn many routes in J-tree to try to pack them into one book. This book is a must. I am looking forward to... |

A great hiking book for mountaineers in the Southeast is Dixie 3000: A Hiking Guide to the Peaks in South Carolina Over 3000'. Mail Docbeaker@aol.com for more info. |
