around 150 routes at wamello and growing!

That's amazing to me. In 1970, Tim Schiller and I climbed what was probably the first technical route there (mostly easy fifth class, with a 5.8 step, on Hawk Dome). At that time, the Climber's Guide to Yosemite Valley had fewer than 300 climbs listed, and that includes non-technical routes. I never really appreciated just how untapped the rock resource was 45 years ago. I wonder what people will think about that issue 45 years from now.

In the meantime, I await information on how to get your guidebook.

Nice cover. I was taught not to judge a book by its cover. Don't know what to think?

Mike has posted many earlier drafts of topos and overlay photos in his photos section of the supertopo forum, so these should give you some idea of what the guidebook looks like (and likely have been edited since these early drafts).

Arn't the dots in between the bolts suppose to be connected?

The bolt lines look very straight. Must have been drilled with a survey transit!
