Don't ignore the fantastic limestone! Mike Cronin's guidebook is great!

If I were you, I'd get the busse guide to rushmore, cronin's guide to the limestone, and the adventure climbs of the needles. AND, be sure to download the MP app on your phone.

A lot of people dis the needles guide on rei listed above. I don't get the hate. It's a guidebook. I kind of like mine, it's another tool in the toolchest to find climbs. It's not perfect, but neither are any of the other ones listed either.

If you are loaded, get "touch the sky" as well, but make sure it includes the maps.
