Book Reviews of Colorado's Thirteeners 13800 to 13999 FT: From Hikes to Climbs
Book Review: Highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the authoritative, indispensable guide for climbing the "centennial thirteeners" in Colorado. That is, those of the 100 highest peaks which aren't quite fourteeners. Gerry Roach has written several excellent guide books, including Colorado's Fourteeners, which is still the standard guide books on that subject. I believe this book is his best work. 59 major peaks are covered, with multiple routes, distances, elevation gain, level of difficulty, and detailed route descriptions. What more could you ask for? Beautiful color plates and annotated topo maps? They're in there also.
The appendix is also valuable as it includes three lists of all 800 or so Colorado summits over 13,000'. The lists are organized by elevation, quadrangle, and alphabetically. The lists identify parent peaks, rise, and other data.
Printed on high quality, slick paper, the book wears well. I refer to it frequently and so far I have found all the information contained in it to be accurate.
Summary of Colorado's Thirteeners 13800 to 13999 FT: From Hikes to Climbs
Colorado's Thirteeners is a comprehensive hiking and climbing guide to Colorado's peaks between 13,800 feet and 13,999 feet in elevation. Although climbing Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks has become increasingly popular in recent years for both state natives and visitors, many of the best climbs in the state are actually 13,000-foot peaks. Referring to these peaks as the "Centennial Thirteeners," authors Gerry and Jennifer Roach take you across Colorado to some of the most beautiful mountain the state has to offer. Peaks covered include Mount Meeker, which is visible from Denver, and more reclusive beauties such as Arrow, Vestal, and Jagged in the San Juan Range. Packed full of useful and user-friendly information on these and other peaks.Mountain Climbing Books
