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.

Coming out next week I just heard from the man himself, Chuck B!
It's kicking our Tuolumne Bouldering to the curb :-/
It is separate from SuperTopo so place any orders for it here:
https://tuolumneboulderingguidebook.wordpress.com
or email the author Charlie Barrett direct with any questions here: charliejbarrett@gmail.com
We may have a sale on our last Tuolumne Bouldering books but why would you want it other than to save a few bucks!?
Good job Charlie we can't wait to see it :)

Got the book last night and stayed up late drooling over it. Tons of inspiring photos, lots of killer historical essays and perspectives, and gazillions of new problems to go check out.
Very nice job Charlie.

Got the new TM guide in the mail yesterday afternoon. Thanks a lot, Charlie. Remembered the Gaylor Boulders and Dana Meadow Boulders from 25 years ago, but had forgotten where to park in my pre-Alzheimer's haze. Now, that shows real attention to detail.
This new guidebook is going to change Tuolumne from a climbing museum into a world-class bouldering destination.

If the history of world-class bouldering destinations is any indication of the future of Tuolumne, then I can't wait!
