I'm heading out to CO in August and am looking for a cragging guidebook to complete the knowledge base (I've already got Roach) of the area.

Is there a guidebook out there with information on Lumpy and the Flatirons?

Thanks very much for any advice or thoughts.

The Haas guide to the flatirons is comprehensive and modern. Maps/topos/pictures and all the routes in the Roach boo + many more. That said, the Roach 'Classics' book covers everything you would want to do in limited time below 5.6, as it has the main routes at that grade. What Haas offers is the maps/topos/details.
As for the Lumpy Book, Rossiter and Gillette both have one out. Both have their +/- aspects and both have their fans. It comes down to what you want with respect to that.
Each of these books is widely available.

Pretty good but definitely not comprehensive guidebook:

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
