Yeah!! I just downloaded it and it looks great. The new routes in there that I've done are all excellent choices to have included.

Having been fortunate enough to have been on a handful of those fresh routes from Ripple to bust it out ( and many others) it's nice to see areas away from the maddening crowds being responsibly developed.

The cover photo is someone who used to post on SuperTopo Forum pretty regularly. Can anyone (who doesnt have the book or the free topo download) guess who?

Chris forgot to mention that the print book is full color, unlike the first edition.

(I didn't even know that until the last few days of editing!)

O.k., here is why C-mac kicks ass...

I just received an e-mail informing me that I'm eligible for a free download of the new e-book version because I bought the original Tuolumne e-book a couple of years ago.

So I'm eligible for the free upgrade. Badass!!!!! And I didn't have to chase him down and bug him that he 'owes me my free upgrade'...HE TOLD ME!!!

I just downloaded it and it looks sweet!

Thanks Chris, you run a primo outfit here!!!

I don't see the Whiz Domes... are they renamed or are they supposed to be secret? Please advise.

Did I miss Always Arches on Fairview? Old first ascent Kamps and I did which never made it into guidebooks but which I think I posted some info on at a Meadows website ... I’ll research and blab more if necessary, though maybe only two stars and very old bolts unless someone has found and redone. Then again, nice to have some vanished first ascents to remind us of our mortality, like Punch Bowl in Yosemite, vanquished by rock fall I understand ...

Peter, the ST is a select guide, so many domes and the large majority of routes are not included.

Even some newly developed moderates are deliberately not included since I don't think that the areas need the traffic a select guide can bring (for instance, all the crags down Cathedral Creek, all the crags near Lake of the Domes).
