His guide will direct you to some obvious spots that have been previously covered in numerous previous guides, but aside from Big Rocks there is nothing this thread that's in his book. I located all of'em the old-fashioned way -- by learning to read maps, interpreting aerial photos, having a good 4X4, memorizing the stratigraphic column of the Clorado Plateau, getting freindly with the old-timer ranchers and BLM and Forest Service types, and having a willingness to drive and hike and explore just for the fun of it. Explore much?
Same as it ever was.

i climbed at big rocks while you were still trying to be a legend in your own mind.
i climbed in capitol reef while the slings on the Castle were still useable from the FA.
i am lamenting a guidebook for every corner of the world.
sorry, but thats old school, you know before pads.

You were climbing at Big Rocks in 1973?! Damn, son.
Excuse me. I didn't realize it was a competition. But if it is...sure, I'll take the Pepsi challenge.
I'd been bouldering daily for over 20 years before the first "Crash Pads" (duct tape coated sofa matresses?) became a twinkle in Verm's eye. Unless you count the pilfered curry mattress that Yabo threw under Bachar Cracker in '76/77. I thot BC was a big sporty before then...those blocks were gnar on the backbones.

Entrance to Grand Wash? The 5.12 Hong line on the left wall is BADASS.

"Big Rocks!"
"Long legs!"
Not a hater, just not a doer.
Want some pads? Bicycle racers like these kind.
Good shots, every body! It's what bouldering is for--viewing.

Yes! He did that thing in the spring of '84 with Karen Budding. Can't remember the name, but there was a plaque at the base when we found it. 12a maybe? Uber-classic, thin fingers to wyde and everything in between...full-value route.
