 Great Book June 29, 2008
I bought this book for my husband and he loves it. He has been to Colorado 3 times and always reads it before he goes and takes it with him on the trip.
Definitive October 30, 2007
This should be the backbone of anyone's guidebooks for climbing 14ers. It is extremely well organized and has tons of useful data. You will not be dissapointed. Get the book and get out there!
Colorado's Fourteeners August 23, 2007
I have climbed two of the Fourteeners listed in this book and I wish I had this book before doing so. The book is simply, in my opinion, the best, most complete guide to climbing these mountains that I could possibly imagine. I'm doing four more this month and I've used this book to do all the planning, including which TOPOs to buy and which trailheads to use and which routes up the mountains to take. He provides excellent maps in the book itself and great descriptions of each ascent. He also carefully describes the different levels of difficulty a climber/hiker will encounter and applies those definitions systematically throughout his book. It's a first rate guide and worth every penny paid.
We Were a Success Using This Book... August 12, 2007
We purchased this as a reference guide for our fundraiser called "Summitting for the Bipolar Cure - 2007".
Our group used it for summitting Mt. Elbert, Grays Peak and Torreys Peak in June of 2007. Thanks to the thoroughness of this book, we were able to successfully summit all three peaks.
Being from the east coast, the elevation above 10,000 feet caused us to experience some altitude sickness and disorientation. Having already reviewed the peak and route descriptions with this book, we were more at ease than if we had not prepared ourselves.
Colorado is a beautiful state to climb in. All of us really enjoyed our time there. Some in the group had never climbed above 2000', so on Elbert they really earned their charity money! That peak was easy, but a real work out - it took us 10 hours round trip! Our group wished we could have summitted more of the 14er's, but we had a tight time schedule and had to proceed on to Grand Teton, Hood, Rainier, and then on up to Alaska.
Happy Climbing!
 Contents decent, book is falling apart. August 25, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The book seems pretty definitive regarding the 14ers. The author discusses different routes for each. Gives you tips on where the snags are, lets you know what to expect. Very good in all that.
The book itself though, not so good. I've had my copy for about a month (indoors all the time, no water damage) and the pages are falling out. The back cover says printed in China. It looks like they wanted the cheapest production for this. Well, they got it.
