Good general guide for the state

This book (like most Falcon guidebooks that I have used) is a very good general guidebook for the state of issue. It offers the reader a good glimpse of most of the climbing areas in the state, but most climbers will probably want to purchase separate books for distinct areas. It covers most of the classic routes, and is a great starter guide for anyone who is traveling around the state looking for rocks. I have a large library of guidebooks, but I use this book frequently.Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet

a good overview

this book has an excellent overview of the climbing areas in the state. there are not many details for one specific area. good for a general look at climbing in colorado.

Excellent and Informative

As always this series continues to offer very good information in regards to how to find climbing routes and the pro that is required on the routes. Gives excellent in depth information as to how to get to the specific climbing areas and even what is available for camping/nightlife etc in the surrounding areas. A big plus to have.

Breadth good, depth lacking

In Rock Climbing Colorado, Mr. Green takes on the ambitious task of cataloguing the major climbing areas in the state of Colorado. While this guide book is an excellent introduction to the routes extant in Colorado, it suffers from its ambition; too many times, I have been at the base of the climb wondering what it was and what it was rated. Rock Climbing Colorado does an admirable job of describing select climbs at certain crags; however, local guidebooks will typically be far superior. To his credit, Mr. Green cites the corresponding local guidebooks in each area's overview.Rock Climbing Colorado is an excellent resource for planning a climbing trip; however, once at the crag, the intrepid climber will quickly realize how much he needs the local guidebook.

This is a must have book for your travel in Colorado

I have spent my last two summer vacations traveling through Colorado with my family. This book has been our guide for our travels on back roads. The information has been correct and well laid out. If you enjoy travel on two lane roads versus freeways, where you can see the country around you, this book is for you. I have used the authors book for New Mexico as well. enjoy your trip!
