No Blitzo pics, kind of a bummer lots of stuff was happening around then, maybe next round gotta figure out who to talk to.
Time frame is if I make this work and get the funds by december the book will be here in mid-January. Printing is done overseas.

Sweet!
Preordered this when you posted about it, a few months back.
Great job on the Mammoth book, psyched to see your take on the Meadows.

You idiots Charlie grew up with Kevin, they are friends. Then he got drunk & trolled you all.
If you want to have the best guide to bouldering in Tuolumne you will buy this book.
Personally, I think a guidebook where the author is not only capable, but ambitious enough to climb all the routes they plan on recording is what creates the best guides. I appreciate Charlie's dedication to providing as little speculation and as much consistency on grades, directions, topos, etc. as possible.
Not a common thing in all guidebooks in my experience.

Hey RyanD,
He got drunk and spewed not trolled.
That aside I'd still buy the book if I was bouldering in Tuolumne.
