Extreme Angles Publishing 2008 Lineup
With so many areas to choose from in the US, It's tough to know where to
begin. With this in mind Extreme Angles presents Ultimate Destinations. After
thousands of miles and countless trips we have assembled the essential tick
list of climbing's Ultimate Destinations. Each book was carefully written to
bring people closer to each area. Here is what others have to say:
NEW! The Gunks
Extreme Angles Publishing announces the upcoming release of their latest
guidebook, The Gunks. This definitive
guidebook to climbing in the Gunks will be hitting store shelves
in September 2008. Written by veteran climbing
authors Zach Orenczak and Rachael Lynn, The
Gunks brings together all the necessary components of a great guidebook
in classic Extreme Angles style. This full-color guide is brimming with
maps, topos, photos of the routes, strategy, beta, historical anecdotes,
breath-taking photography and much
more.
"Flipping through this collection of climbing guides will make
every ascent feel like an adventure. You may buy these books to study the
routes, but you'll keep reading them for the awesome storytelling, which
will amuse even these who haven't braved the
rocks."

Shawangunk Rock Climbing (The classic coffee table book)

Shawangunk Rock Climbing by Richard DuMais was originally published in 1985. In the years since, it has sold out completely, become an acclaimed classic of climbing literature, and until now, has been totally unavailable. After a complete digital remastering, Extreme Angles Publishing has been successful in bringing this modern standard back to the people. Shawangunk Rock Climbing is a full color, hardback coffee table book, 121 pages long, which captures the spirit and history of the Shawangunk ridge in New York State. Now is your chance to own this one-of-a-kind, limited edition print run of Shawangunk Rock Climbing. Don’t put it off for long! Only a very limited number are available.

The Needles
The
Needles are a fantastic wonderland of rocky granite spires tucked deep in the
Black Hills. The climbing here is legendary; from the wild face climbs that lead
to table top summits, to giant "chicken head" knobs which sometimes need to be
slung for gear! The Needles of South Dakota are a must for anyone looking for
adventure. Included in this full color guide are detailed descriptions, precise
topos and even tear-out route cards for some of the longer routes--no more
toting the book along on long climbs. The
Needles was heavily researched and includes many historical photos and
anecdotes. It is an essential for those that dream of going or those who are on

Vedauwoo Bouldering
Bouldering

tested by the legendary John Gill who left countless classics. Since then
Vedauwoo has yielded over 600 problems drawing many to the flat, sandy landings.
You name it and you'll find it here-from steep overhanging roof cracks just feet
above the ground to desperate high ball aretes and crimpy faces. When humidity
keeps you from sticking that nasty sloper at your local crag you will find
bouldering in Vedauwoo's average 70 degree temps and dry air a treat.By: Davin Bagdonas
