All the Pretty Guidebooks

[JC w KC redux]

My copy of Gagner's book is stapled (and both have slight rust on them). It is also missing pages 19 through 21 (recall me calling you about that - and you didn't yet have the book!).

Munge or others - Do you guys have pages 20 and 90?
Mine goes 19, 21 and 89, 91

(Now back to my cake; I can almost see it now under the remaining whipped cream.)

Do you enjoy the leftover nitrous when the whip cream runs out?

No page 20 or 90.  Mine still has the 12.95 sticker on the back.  Binding is worn.

I think I have ya'll beat....pops handed down to me old, old pinnacles monument guide books..no climbing.

I need to locate them in the library.

I personally prefer the Blue guide with all it's flaws and ratings...

Carry on with the guide book love fest...

 I wonder if Brad and Steve are going to be asking F4 and myself to voice and provide commentary for the audio version of the 2020 guide?

Thanks dude - mystery solved.
Mine has some residue on the front cover from the sticker.
Binding isn't great but the design is partly to blame.

Who is that on the cover?
Looks like a 70's porn star

So far I have the following guidebooks:

A Climber's Guide To Pinnacles National Monument, David Hummack, Sierra Club, 1955.

A Climber's Guide To Pinnacles National Monument, Steve Roper, The Ski Hut, 1966.

Pinnacles Climber's Guide, Chuck Richards, Recreational And Travel Enterprises, 1974.

A Rock Climbers Guide To Pinnacles National Monument, Paul G. Gagner, self-published, 1983.

Pinnacales Guide (sic), Elvin R. Johnson & Richard P. Cordone, La Siesta Press, 1984.  Not really a climbing guidebook, but mentions climbing and has a section on it.  It is interesting that the incorrect spelling of Pinnacles is repeated throughout the entire book.

Climber's Guide Pinnacles National Monument, Dave Rubine, Chockstone Press, 1991.

Climber's Guide Pinnacles National Monument, Second Edition, David Rubine, Chockstone Press, 1995.

A Climber's Guide To Pinnacles National Monument, Brad Young, self-published, 2007.

Are there any other guidebooks?  I am aware that there are lists of climbs in the Sierra Club Yoddler prior to the Hammock guidebook and have a photocopy of one of these, but I do not really consider these guidebooks.

Jonathan Richards guide.

Would love to have one.

[F4?]

Well there is the guide in mr mud’s head!
Hard to print, but light weight.

Mud can be quite dense depending on whether it is saturated or dessicated

desecrated

[Brad Young]

Jonathan Richards guide.

Would love to have one.

I don't have an extra, but here's a taste of it (calling it a "guidebook" may be too generous):

Train wreck.

Train wreck.

It gets worse.

Must not have had a proof reader.
