Are there any moderate (7's, 8's, 9's) routes up at charleston? I haven't been there in about 8 years. Any recent guidebooks?

There are a few up at Charleston in that range.

The guidebook ISLANDS IN THE SKY has a lot of Charleston routes in it.

The link to Amazon.com shows the book at over $90. It is $26 at REI, I'm not sure what Desert Rock Sports charges, but I would guess a similar price.

The main drawback to this book is that it is terribly out of date. There are so many new climbs since its publication.

Still have tons of fun every time I get out to Santo Horhay to rock the limestone, I think that if you're looking for moderates, that's a way better spot, and the locals tend to be friendlier and more psyched to share info and space.

Mostafa brought this thread back and then deleted his post, I was responding to that. However, Killis is right, don't come to the Roost or the Hood, the routes suck, the people suck, the scenery sucks, definitely go to St. George....and take Killis with you.

The Hamlet looks better than Walla, and the Hamlet reminds me of the results of dysentery. The other cliff I haven't been to and reserve comment on.
This guy is SO butthurt!
