Book Reviews of Red River Gorge Rock Climbs
Book Review: Best guide book out there.
Summary: 5 Stars
Simple--this is the best guide available for RRG climbing. A little expensive, but worth it. Durable cover and pages (cover also functions as bookmark). Sectioned off well. Good maps and driving/approach directions. Accurate for # of bolts and length of climbs (not sure why some climbing books don't include these two very important pieces of info). Tick list by trad/sport and grade is a great feature, although a few climbs in Muir Valley are missing in the 2ed.
