Customer Reviews

Come on, it's not _that_ bad!

[...] Like most every guidebook I've seen, this one has trouble integrating routes with their location on the surface of the earth. You'll probably need to bring a USGS topo map along with this book. The authors provide a PG/R/X "protectability" rating, along with a 0-3 stars quality rating. They cover some of the premier alpine route in Tuolumne, like Cathedral Peak and Mount Conness, though I'd like to see more of these.Let's face it, almost every guidebook out there sucks in serious ways, and this one's not immune. But the reason that there isn't much competition to this guidebook is the fact that this one is so complete. They've probably got around 1000 routes listed.

Excellent

An excellent guide to Tuolumne Meadows. Everything you want to know is here. I was a little concerned glancing through the guide when everything was rated PG or above till I realized that the guide doesn't use the G rating. I guess PG stands for 'pretty good.'
