Colorado's Fourteeners, 3rd Ed. From Hikes to Climbs

A classic guidebook known for its accuracy and comprehensiveness, Colorado's Fourteeners has been completely updated to include new routes, detailed specs on each mountain and climb, GPS coordinates, valuable information on trail access, and Gerry's new rating system, Roach Points. In addition to often-climbed standard routes, Gerry details many alternative and technical routes, each rated according to length, elevation gain, class, and snow steepness, to make this the best book for climbers and hikers of all skill levels.
