does anyone know of a place where i can buy large maps of areas or famous walls. I have seen these topos and maps in shops and at local climbing spots but i have never seen any for sell.

I don't know about "for sale," but here's a do-it-yourself version:

The United States Geological Survey's National Map Viewer (nationalmap.gov/viewer.html) allows you to download maps of all kinds: satellite imagery, collared 1:24k topographic maps, uncollared, etc... You can download any size of data, so you can choose whatever area you want.

If you don't have access to a plotter, places like Office Depot will print large scale things at a reasonable price.

Good luck.

These look pretty inspiring...

^ Those posters are awesome.

For maps of areas I think mytopo.com has an option for large maps that can be hung on walls.

I'm guessing you mean route / crag topos and not USGS maps with elevation information. If it is the latter, then USGS still appears sell their paper map products in the 7.5 and 15 minute scales for instance

I have The Nose one, it's great...just don't try and get it framed unless you're a rich folk.

Might not be exactly what your looking for but worth checking out. TONS of beta on her site. Just bought a pickets pano and printed it up 48"x20". Very easy to do business with, quick transactions.
