I actually have grown to like the notches guidebook. It documents some real gems. Ya just gotta be willing to actually go and find them. I appreciate the sense of adventure it creates. I used to hate it but now it has a special place in my heart.

Picked up a copy from Rob in Keene this weekend. Cool book, worth the $25 - Wishing I had brought more than just sport gear to NH for the holiday weekend!

I'm curious about the Monadnock guidebook.  What percentage of the routes listed are . . .
—trad climbs
—sport climbs
—boulder problems

Thanks for any beta on this.

Lived in Francestown in '85-87, soloing at Joe English was about it at the time.

Hello Nick, Hard to quantify; When does a route with bolts become sport? When does a boulder problem become a solo? When does a top rope problem become trad? anyway... 31 sport, 182 trad lines, 36 boulder problems and 29 top rope problems. You can decide where the categories overlap or intersect.
