Market Place Press is pleased to announce the latest 4th edition of the Dixie Cragger's Atlas guidebook for Tennesse. Now in two volumes, they are available in 200+ shops nationwide, as well as through dixiecragger.com, and can be purchased separately or as a set. As always, Market Place Press donates heavily to local and national climber advocacy organizations. I would also like to thank the photographers, first ascensionists, route developers and everyone else who contributed. The Dixie Cragger's Atlas guidebooks have always been made possible by contributions from the climbing community.

Chris, thanks for all the hard work that went into this edition of the books. They are great and they continue to get better and better. I love the color version of the books. And thanks to you for your support of climbing in the southeast over the many years. I appreciate your efforts. Looking forward to using the books at the crag and seeing you out there soon.

Thanks!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. They have been well received so far. Hopefully we are at the start of a great crisp fall climbing season!

Have just recently gotten a chance to check out the updated AL/GA version... I like the cool history section in the back on BITD climbing at Stone Mtn, GA. Also, impressed with the quantity of routes listed for my home crag, Steele, as well as LRC. There are lots of new, young climbers in Birmingham and both sections are getting a lot of mileage with these folks. I cut my teeth with the first editions. Good job, Chris.
