Anyone have any information on when the new guidebook by Robinson mentioned in the latest Climbing magazine will be released?

The Tennessee Wall: A Rock Climber's Guide

website given is defunct: tennesseewall.com

Thanks,
Mike

Website is supposed to up this week with books following. I think Rob has already received the proof copies. Can't wait to see it!

has there been much development at t-wall since the latest dixie guide?

Proof copy is amazing! RR did a first class job on this. Stunning color pics of the entire cliff layout, tons of accurate information and yes...a stack of new lines described. He also provides clarification on some old ones. They should be available in coming weeks keep looking for the site as the first shipment will go fast. If you like Bloom's IC creek guide, or the RRG guide layout this will impress.

Maybe we should insert "quality" development. Seems like most new stuff would be obscure bolted face routes, but I could be wrong. I would however like a book similar to the RRG book, because the Dixie Craggers drawn overview topos of cliff layout and photos are not as easy to follow as many modern guide books.

I've been chomping at the bit to get one Rob's new guidebooks. He told me last week the website for ordering copies should be up by the middle of this week, but here it is Friday and it's still not active. Maybe next week. I'll keep checking!

Ugh. Seriously bought the previous guidebook the same day this thread was created. Lame.

I see the website is now up and running, but the link to purchase the new guide isn't active yet. I'll keep trying . . .

Photos look great. Hopefully he'll post a free sample to ogle while we have to wait for the purchase link to be activated.

Okay, Rob's site is definitely coming to life. You'll notice that tennesseewall.com just redirects you to the real site, so here's that link: southernsandstonepublishing…

The "purchase" link is also activated now, so I've put in my order, which according to Rob is the first one! I'll probably do a review for MP once I receive my copy and have time to peruse it in detail.
