The Index Town Walls: En guide til Washingtons beste klippe

The topos for the 800-foot trad lines are detailed enough that I finally stopped second-guessing route finding on the upper pitches. Approach beta for the Skykomish Valley crags alone saved me an hour of wandering. Worth every penny if Index is your home crag.

Didn't expect a guidebook to get me this fired up about granite. The topos for the trad odysseys are clear enough that even I could follow them, and the route variety means there's something for every level of ambition. My only regret is not buying it sooner.

Finally a guide that treats the 800-foot trad lines with the detail they deserve instead of cramming them into one vague paragraph. I've been climbing at Index for three seasons and still found new approaches and descent beta I'd never figured out on my own.
