It was worth the wait
24 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This long awaited edition has gotten a little thicker with the addition of over 700 new routes. The drawn topos appear to be all re-drawn and the extensive use of photo-topos are a great addition. New visitors to the park should have no problem finding the route of their choice. The bouldering section of the book has been expanded quite a bit (45 pages total) and now includes photo-topos and V-scale ratings for problems. This edition is broken down into the same logical area specific chapters.
Disappointingly, many of the route and area descriptions have been toned down. For instance, gone is the classic Shiprock description "Only blockheads with enough experience to know better should try." Am I nit-picking at this point? Yes. There isn't much to criticize about the 2nd edition. Get this book and feel free to leave the 1st edition, Smith Rock Select, and all the supplements at home.

Great Guidebook
17 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This new guide is pretty sweet. The color photos are a nice touch and make route finding a snap. Plus it's nice to have the routes from the various new supplement route books consolidated into one book so you really only need this one (for now). The only beef I had with the book is that there is no Routes by Rating Index like in most guidebooks. Other than that I think the Falcon guide is a great purchase.

Me and All My Climbing Friends Have Enjoyed This Book
29 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Got this book so I could find routes around Smith Rock that my girlfriend and I could climb. We both just started climbing over the winter in a gym and were eager to get outside, but with all the possible places to climb around Smith, finding the right spot seemed a little daunting. This book was easy to understand if you are at all fimaliar with guide books and explains the routes fairly well. The beginning of the book is about the history of climbing at Smith Rock and is an interesting read as well.
