Great Resource!

This might be the best ice climbing guidebook I've ever seen! Let it freeze! Let it freeze! Let it freeze!

Best Winter Guide in Washington

This is clearly the definitive guide to steep winter climbing in Washington State. Martin and Krawarik have done a spectacular job researching and reporting on these routes. This is the first book of it's kind for the area. I absolutely cannot wait for it to get cold!
