	Alpine Select: Climbs in Southwest British Columbia & Northern Washington Kevin McLane, Elaho Publishing Purchase this book As the title lays out, this is a book of select alpine climbs mainly in BC, but also a few in Washington. The book is interesting for being divided into a section covering all of the approaches and another covering all of the climbs. McLane writes to a high standard and this book is no exception. There are some fairly accessible day climbs in here as well as some monsters. Would you believe that there's a 37 pitch rock route only a few hours from Vancouver?
	Scrambles in Southwest British Columbia Matt Gunn Purchase this book A well put together guide to scrambling routes on many BC peaks.
	Central BC Rock Lyle Knight, Elaho Publishing Purchase this book Now a little out-of-date, but still the essential reference for the BC interior areas such as Yak Peak, Kelowna, and all the smaller crags that deserve attention but don't quite have the same draw as Skaha.

	Rock N Road Tim Toula, Falcon Publishing Purchase this book Rock N Road: An Atlas of North American Climbing Areas, is a comprehensive listing of every chunk of protruding stone on the continent. This is not a typical guidebook: there are no topos or route descriptions and only a few photos. Instead, the atlas provides a paragraph or two on each destination, with quality ratings, stats on number of climbs, and a list of the best routes. This is an essential reference item for those in search of new or less-documented crags.
