I've got an old guidebook for it too. It's by Jason Stevens from 97.
That's just about the latest...his last one is from 1999 I seem to recall. Maybe there'll be another some day...ha ha...(running joke here in Utar).
Empire of Dirt...classic! There's an ice climb in the box in Maple that's called that.
Yeah, take some time for me to get in the mood for Maple rock. The ice there, while fickle, is super great when its in.
Nice shots!

Yeah, its been "at the printer" for around 5 years now.
When it comes out, my bet is a bunch of folks are goin' to be bummed that their first 5.12 redpoint got downrated to 5.11b...

...and anything that says FA Peterson.
Or...maybe "Pederson".
Grades are all over the map there. But, its easy to see why. Hard place to put in routes. And, its hard to grade, then, have the route change a bit, and have to regrade.
Weird and fun. I've reassessed what I'd consider as chossy and unclimbable for sure.

cool pics. That place is strange, but once in a while its just fun to simply grab the jugs behind the cobbles and pull.
