3.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiring but a tad underwhelming
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 5 February 2022Verified Purchase
This is overall a great book that I have and will continue to draw inspiration from it.
However, to me this book just felt to be a disguise of the author's portfolio assembled together at his convenience rather than actually showcasing the most iconic North American climbing areas and what makes them so unique and diverse. For an example there are multiple sections dedicated to a handful of obscure Utah crags but then the entire states of Wyoming, Washington and Canada's Alberta are not included. Also for an area like Nevada's Red Rocks with a lifetime's worth of climbing and over 2,400 routes, it was a tad underwhelming to see its section with only a measly 5 photos.
In my opinion there are alot of gaps left out and alot of areas that are disproportionately represented.
