Could someone who knows Robbers Cave well, please sort out the route names and order. Some of these routes have been given names by the guy that entered them, but they do not seem to coincide with the names of the routes on Texas Mountaineers crag map, which was compiled in 1997. Perhaps someone who has a copy of the Oklahoma Climbers Guide could use it to sort out the routes, using the recorded list and the TM map.
Is there any likelyhood of a guide reprint or update, have tried to contact them but have had no reply. Perhaps the guide publisher could allow the park to reproduce the crag section, (for royalties!) or even put it on this site. (or a PM to me.) Any help with this would be useful and much appreciated.

I will try to sort them out in the near future. I was up there this last weekend and we were the only climber there. The weather was great as was the climbing.

I would really like to get some more information about that area. I was down there for 6 weeks for training at the college in Wilburton for training. Too bad I wasn't climbing then I did do some exploring out there pretty nice area and from what I remember it looks like most of the crags were pretty protectable with gear or easy enough to set up a TR.

I live 45 min from there in McAlester. That's where I climb the most, but I'm lacking experienced climbing buddies. If anyone needs a climbing partner let me know. I have the Oklahoma climbers guide that describes the area.

Most of my names are from an old guidebook I have. I have put up a few FA's so I named them but almost everything at Robbers was climber back in the 70's and 80's. I have done a couple more since I last updated the site but have not listed or named them yet. Not all climbs were named back then so some remain unnamed.
