Sebastian ★★★★★

The hand-drawn maps in this volume are worth the price alone — I've used them to plan three trips into the Alpine Lakes area and they've been spot on every time. Beckey's decades of exploring these peaks really come through in the route notes.

Riley ★★★★★

The hand-drawn maps in this volume are surprisingly detailed for how compact the book is, and they saved me a lot of guesswork on a recent scramble near Stevens Pass. Twenty-five years of route beta shows in how thorough the descriptions are.

Joseph ★★★★★

Fred Beckey's route descriptions are so detailed I planned a whole weekend on Sloan Peak without needing anything else. The hand-drawn topos saved me twice when the trail disappeared under snow. Worth every penny for anyone climbing in the Cascades.
