Looks fantastic. Just did some crazy backcountry Sedona climb, can't wait to see some of the new stuff out there. Great job, I'm sure it was a grueling project.

Just ordered the second proof this morning.

There were a TON of edits on the first one, but this one should go way faster.

I will have it in-hand on Thursday, to David by next Tuesday or Wednesday for his reviews, so...

2012 for sure! ;-)

Hahaha, Will.

Thanks for the bump!

The form letter that went out last week:

Greetings friends!

David and I have encountered some unexpected set-backs in the late stages of publication and are forced to begin the process anew.

We want to make sure that this guide is a proud representation of all of the efforts of everyone involved. There are elements of accuracy, consistency and aesthetic that are very important to us. We respect the generosity and input from all parties involved.

I have recently spent a week in Flagstaff with David, going through the information page-by-page. This was followed up by a complete redoing of all 150 photos and photo-topos. I am now redoing all 105 hand-drawn topos, as well. The result is more like what David and I had envisioned. It is a great feeling.

We both apologize for the delays, the end product will be better for every bit of extra time we put into this.

We want to thank you all for your amazing input, patience and keeping a positive spin on this project.

Your contributions have been invaluable to us.

Erik and David

WOW. Quite the rewrite.

Interesting.

Wonder what could have caused this drastic measure.

Congrats... a baby is born! Lots of work. Tons of abuse. Feel good about what you accomplished.

Sometimes you have to do a REGEN, othertimes, you may want to do a REDRAW, but in other cases, sometimes you have to START ANEW.

Good luck! RB

Thanks, everyone.

I got back from Flagstaff last Monday. In the week-and-a-half since then I have completely redone the 150 photos and photo-topos, as mentioned. I just now finished redoing all 107 hand-drawn topos, the real meat of the work, since we changed the layout for EVERYTHING for a cleaner look.

So, in sum: 10 days of work, usually 8-16 hours per day depending on the job that PAYS, for a net result of page-ready topos numbering 257.

My fingers hurt, and I haven't climbed in three weeks.
