This latest edition of Wesley Gooch’s Climbers’ Guide to Western Wyoming is a balanced blend of up-to-date route information, and a visual treat. Wes certainly has his finger on the pulse of local cragging; not only is he inspired to search for the undiscovered, but his comprehensive guide clearly integrates information from many influential route developers and climbing photographers. The layout of the color beta photos of the Rock Springs Buttress will really assist those uninitiated with the inherently complicated features. With new routes and areas opening every year, this new, clear and concise edition was truly needed, and will continue to be the reference for the area for years (until time necessitates another edition!). Nicely done, Wes.
