I think it's great that you included Mt Charleston. Can't tell you how much us locals appreciate that nearby option when it's 112 degrees out at Red Rock. Great limestone sport climbing and 30 degrees cooler than down in the valley.

That said, if you have to start dropping borderline destinations to make room for more worthy ones (eg. Lover's Leap) then perhaps Charleston could fall off the map. Pun intended.

Thumbs up for your idea and best of luck.


Edit:
Then again, I have met out-of-towners who came with Charleston as their destination. Also know many locals who prefer Charleston and the other local limestone crags over Red Rock. Maybe one label for Vegas that reads: Red Rock/Mt Charleston.

If u include Mexican & Canadian destinations maybe don't call it "climbers map to the United States" maybe "climbers map to North America" would be more accurate, albeit incomplete. Good luck.

Draper's Bluff is closed, but you should include Cedar Bluff which is next door to Draper's.

I'd substitute the black hills of South Dakota for just the needles, so much great stuff encompassed in that area.

I was surprised to see barn bluff on the list. If you want a Minnesota area go with Palisade Head on the north shore of Lake Superior. It's so much better than barn bluff.

Phantom--of the areas that I mentioned that would be worth driving 1000 miles for, they all qualify since they are on the way to something else, usually (Canada, or going from the Great Lakes area to Washington State, say).

Blodgett Canyon is probably the most recognizable, having been in Harlin's guide to the Rocky Mountains for over 30+ years.

Gallatin Canyon and the Boulder Batholith can be easily climbed in one trip and are VERY different types of traditional climbing...

Again, I could do 100 places just in California, so I need to limit what I Iabel there for my purposes. In fact a california map is not a bad idea.

Sort of already been done.


The posters page for Toula's website:

Damn. CA has 300 climbing areas, poor Colorado only has 268....

Crunch-

Re: Toulas california poster. Cool. My stuffs... a bit different. Less infographic, more piece of art with bonus information.

Also- I came looking for you last week at your book signing, but just missed you. I resisted the urge to steal one of your books from the table. They are gorgeous.

Pyro- yes, thanks. Stoney Point is on my maybe list.
