* Quality, color climbing guidebook for classic Flatiron routes * Most routes are 5.6 or easier * Published by the Colorado Mountaineers Club and full of local knowledgeBR&gt; Soaring up from the Boulder foothills, the Flatirons are famous for moderate climbing; they are not only a great training ground for more difficult climbs, but more importantly, Flatiron routes are simply fun. Join Gerry Roach in exploring this vast array of sandstone slabs that host a colorful universe of clefts, corners, cracks, chimneys, caves, overhangs, faces, grottos, alcoves, notches, ridges, and summits. There are over 250 routes on 110 rocks, and the majority of them are rated 5.6 or easier. Originally published 20 years ago and long out of print, Colorado Mountain Club Press completely updated this edition of Flatiron Classics, including seasonal conservation closures and some re-evaluations of route difficulty.

Gerry Roach answers the question Why Everest by tracing the mountaineering history of the Earth's highest peak through the pioneering period, which he brings forward to 1983. Everest is a pyramid with three major faces separated by three major ridges, and the last of these, the elusive East Face, was finally climbed in 1983. This pioneering period also saw other notable mountaineering landmarks such as the first ascent without supplemental oxygen, the first winter ascent, and the first solo ascent.

Gerry Roach's quest for the Seven Summits spanned four decades and went far beyond the traditional Seven Continent Summits or even the Eight Summits. His climbs of continent summits were interspersed with many other climbs and expeditions, and he climbed through an era when it was not so easy to reach remote destinations. This is the second book of three describing Gerry's quest, and it covers four Himalayan expeditions plus his traverse of Mount Blackburn in 1977.

The hikes in this guide all lead to the summit of peaks, and the summit hikes vary in difficulty from short romps to all-day efforts. The highest summits in the Lost Creek Wilderness rise only a few hundred feet above treeline, but the summit plateaus are special places. You can hike for hours through tree-filled meadows that eventually burst upon a private universe far above roads and cities.
