Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-14 00:00:00 James Wilkinson I think material like this is a victim of modernization, meaning the fact that the human race is walking around with miniature super computers in their pocket that offer practically endless knowledge and resources that can be updated in real time. This was originally written in 2010... so, think about how much has changed in 11 years when it comes to rock formation that endure weather, erosion, people damaging the rock, so on and so forth. Nowadays, there are online communities that have knowledge sharing that update things monthly, weekly, or even daily. Folks talking about how a new route was just put up/established, an older route has been damaged and is no longer safe, or even identifying a rockslide that has impacted the area. I get it, not too long ago folks read maps, the didn't have cellphones in their pockets, and they didn't have Internet/computers at home with printers to plan all this stuff out. This type of book should *only* be used as supplemental type material. Sure, it could be nice to throw in the backseat or the backpack and peruse it at the campsite.... but you just cannot trust the material in this for such a dangerous sport in which you could easily lose your life to. Times have certainly changed. The only way to make this thing remotely compete, is if it was updated maybe yearly? Even then though... think about how much things could change in a mere 6 months. I'd say the biggest appeal to this book would be a fanatic rock climber, who just simply wants to day dream about climbing. It could also be used as kind of like a check the box type reference, in which you could get a list going of all the different climbs you wanted to hit based off of this book and then going and verifying safety/relevance/etc. I wrote quite a bit of notes reading this, but above captures what is the most important. I would only recommend this if you are a die-hard climber that just wants to daydream while you aren't on the rock and/or as a supplemental resource to your climbing adventures (aka addiction).

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-23 00:00:00 Chris Wertz Great little book! Several interesting and important historical events that Texas can claim home to. Some stories are very powerful, and some just make one have a little smile. Either way, a couple hours of your time to digest these facts is definitely worth it.
