カスケード登山ガイド 第3巻：レイニーパスからフレーザー川

The hand-drawn maps in this guide are worth it alone — I've used them to plan three trips into the Pasayten area and they've been spot on every time. Beckey's route descriptions don't sugarcoat anything, which is exactly what you want when you're staring up at something sketchy.

I've been climbing in the Cascades for years and this volume finally covers the Rainy Pass to Fraser River routes I kept guessing at. Beckey's route descriptions are dense but honest, and the photos helped me pick lines that actually matched my skill level.

The hand-drawn maps are what sold me — you can trace every gully and rib on a rainy evening before a climb. Beckey clearly walked these basins himself, and the route notes read like advice from someone who's actually been up there.
