I have a free place to crash during the first week of Feb.
Before I rummage through all the usual sites, are there any *must do's* in the area?
Any opinions on what is/are the most comprehensive guidebooks?
I'm normally drawn to long multi pitch routes but would love to check out Hueco.
Thanks!!

IN austin you've got plenty of options but nothin real long:

* liposuction 12a
* rain dance 12a
green belt (right IN town - goto the NEW wall)
* meet the flintstone's 5.9
* thru the looking glass 11a
* tunnel vision 12a
trad:
enchanted rock (2hrs from austin - goto echo canyon)
* 4 or 5 EXcellent cracks up to 10c
* LOTs of bouldering
bouldering:
mckinney falls St Park (near berstrom airport)
* see bloodyflapper.com

Looks like Bobmarley covered all I was going to say.
I almost spewed coffee on the computer when you mentioned multi-pitch routes IN Austin. Funny.
But his recommendations were funny.
Go to Hueco if you get a chance, but don't discount Austin proper.
Happy Holidays.
