So far I have really liked the book once I have gotten to the crag. The book is from 2006 and there has been some changes in a few of the areas on how to get there. Such as getting to "The Drive-In" in the Badlands, it would be more apply named the "3 1/2 mile Walk-In" now. The turn onto a dirt road they call Route 4 is now a parking area and trailhead for the Badlands Rock Trail (aka Route 4). The book was written before the area became the Badlands Wilderness Area and closed off to motor vehicles. But so far that is the only major routing difference I have found. All the others have just been stuff like some of the roads you take have now been paved and/or named and the road going into Sister Boulders has been slightly rerouted. Once at the crag the book has been great. It has been really easy to find the routes they are indicating in the guide. The route difficulty ratings have been very reasonable. And the quality of the climbs are rated as well. So you really do know what you are in for when you get there. If these guys wrote another book I would be willing to get it. They did a great job on this one, but unlike a novel, a guide book is time sensitive and this one is starting to show a bit.
I agree with the review of MST. I too was a victim of the Badlands change. Additionally, old bolts were pulled & new bolts placed at Meadow Camp, hence removing old routes & creating new routes. I called Falcon (twice) a couple of years ago to notify them of this & offer them help with the changes, but they weren't interested. I can understand that then, but this is now & I'm sure that many other routes have been added to every area in their book. It's been 5 years (or more) since the info in this book was accurate - it is time to update it. As soon as a 2nd edition comes out, I will be the first to buy it.Update: the information contained in this book is now 8 years old, or older - IT'S TIME FOR THE 2nd EDITION!!!!!!If you are interested in the content of this book, but don't want to pay for antiquated information, call Falcon Guides (falcon.com) & ask them what the status is on the release of the 2nd edition. If enough people show an interest, maybe they will do something about it.
Really poor guide book. Sorry to say it but makes you not want to go climb in Oregon, which I know is not the case at all...
