Fragile sandstone towers pierce the sky amid endless miles of vertical cliffs sometimes more than a half mile high; wondrous canyon walls of cobblestone and limestone overhang at dizzying angles; and granite domes and slabs recline on sunny mountain slopes. Rock Climbing Utah is the only guide available that covers all the major climbing areas in the state. Traditional and sport climbers from the beginner to expert will find a superb sampling of hundreds of routes in the 24 areas covered. This guide offers first-hand information including area overviews and climbing histories, route betas and topos, detailed locations maps and photos, equipment recommendations, approach and descent information, and listings for shops, gyms, and guide services.

This book does a good job at what would be a daunting task for any author--compiling Utah's best climbing into one tome. That said, this book is best suited for road trippers or casual Utah travelers who are not planning on spending many months exploring what each of Utah's climbing areas really has to offer. This is the only guidebook still in print (summer '04) that has information about Maple Canyon. Photos and topos are usually unique and insightful but sometimes muddled.
