Lander Rock Climbs, 2011 Edition
|
Legendary Wyoming sheep wrangler Steve Bechtel has put down his velcro gloves long enough to update his unparalleled "Lander Sport Climbs" guidebook. This 2011 edition (re-titled "Lander Rock Climbs" due to the inclusion of several trad areas) features a whopping 250+ new routes and eleven new crags, bringing the updated route total to over a thousand excellent lines. The book is the most current guide to Todd Skinner's legenday stomping grounds of Wild Iris and Sinks Canyon, but also includes numerous lesser-know areas near Lander like Baldwin Creek and Fossil Hill. The guide has something for everyone, with over 100 5.13s and sixteen 5.14s (up to 5.14c) to keep the hardiest of hard men busy for years, and roughly 350 routes rated 5.10 and below to keep their entourage happy as well. |

Thanks for the heads up Mark. I was wondering whether they would find another company to put this out after Joe's publishing company went under. Some of the book looks the same (Kirk is still on the cover), but it sounds like there is a decent amount of new info, huh? I guess it is worth ponying up the change for the new edition, yes? |

Kirk was not on the first edition cover, it was a picture of Terris Webber. It is pretty difficult to tell them apart, however. She is a little more buff than him but both are pretty smoking hot. |

I guess Kirk is pretty cute in his white cowboy hat, huh? ....and you're right, I do remember the old cover with the pretty young lady on the cover; I guess the photo of Kirk must have been somewhere inside the book. |
