Shawangunk Rock Climbing (The classic coffee table book)

Shawangunk Rock Climbing by Richard DuMais was originally published in 1985.

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 their way.

In trademark Extreme Angles style, Devils Tower Climbing irreverently tells the unrivaled tale of climbing at the Tower. Complete with tear-out route and rappel cards. And to keep you entertained on the drive, the stories and pictures will keep you chuckling.

Vedauwoo Bouldering

Bouldering in Vedauwoo recently exploded, and for good reason. The boulders were first 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.
