Not really. If they are still in existence, you can order on line guides to several of the most popular crags from (I’m probably spelling this wrong) Tieras Adventuras and print them. We have used them on our 2 trips there and they were very helpful. Additional routes on those crags and numerous others are here on MP—with typically mixed quality of information. I can say that the information for Flying Cocanut on here was very accurate, same for Roca Norte, and the topo for Passilio Frigo , though a bit harder to interpret, was also very helpful—all excellent crags and the first and third particularly good during warmer weather.

I think there is no actual guidebook because climbing on the island us currently in a very active state of development, with new routes being put up in established areas and new areas being opened, but with still only a small number of developers, so any book would pretty quickly be outdated. Great place to visit. Enjoy.

We found these mini guides to be pretty useful in combination with MP.

Caliche, Flying Coconut, Cerro Las Tetas are AMAZING. Roca Norte is pretty good for a lazy day of climbing with probably the shortest approach and super awesome hosts.

Puerto Rico is LEGIT. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
