Book Reviews of Virginia Climber's Guide

Book Review: pathetic
Summary: 1 Stars

General information is bland. Descriptions of routes sketchy at best. The parts dealing with 'ethics' and 'accessibility' are potential entries to a yet unwritten history of content-dodging.
There are standards to how climbing routes are described in sketches and diagrams. This book ignores them. It will be a miracle if you find your way based on this information.
As someone that wants to *actually* climb in VA, I simply had to toss Watson's book and get another one.

Summary of Virginia Climber's Guide

200 line drawings 5 x 8 The first comprehensive guide to climbing and bouldering in Virginia Detailed schematic drawings of more than 30 sites Virginia features some of the more popular rock climbing sites on the East Coast, including Great Falls of the Potomac and Crescent Rocks, but its lesser-known areas also offer a wide variety of challenging climbs. Here for the first time is a complete guide to the entire state. This compact guidebook is packed with information: Schematic line drawings present clear, precise guides to each climb, from the myriad routes at Great Falls to small rockfaces the locals love. Multiple routes are shown for each site, graded for difficulty using the Yosemite Decimal Scale. The book also contains specific information on park fees and regulations, the best time to go, and any special equipment or permits required. Jeff Watson is a native Virginian, avid mountaineer, and 17-year veteran of rock climbing. He lives in Burke, Virginia.
