Yosemite
Sport Climbs and Top Ropes
|
|
Yosemite
Sport Climbs and Top Ropes includes
over 200 of the best top ropes and bolted sport climbs in Yosemite
Valley. The climbs range from 30-foot top ropes next to the road
to awesome multi-pitch sport climbs and everything in between.
Each of the 25 areas covered in this book gets color photos, color
topos and detailed approach information with GPS coordinates.
This book covers every ability level from from 5.1 for the first
timers to many 5.11 and 5.12 routes for more experienced Valley
climbers. Included are shady north-facing areas to escape the
summer heat and sunny lower-elevation spots that offer perfect
conditions all winter long. As in all SuperTopo books, the authors
have documented each route with meticulous care to create the
most detailed and accurate topos ever published.
Reviewers
and Yosemite Climbing Experts praise:
“SuperTopo
guidebooks have widely become known for quality topos, detailed
route descriptions and excellent information that will get you
to and from the climb with ease. Yosemite Sport Climbs and Top
Ropes continues in that vain with clear photos, detailed topos
and amusing historical perspectives on climbing in one of
the most storied areas in the world.
- Mike Schneiter, Splitter Choss
“SuperTopo
offers a clear and concise format and sets the stage for your
own adventure with history to each route.
- Conrad Anker, World Renowned Climber and Mountaineer
