This guide will set a new benchmark in its genre. Its great achievement is that it combines the aesthetic and the practical: being rich in great photos, amazingly precise topos, and loaded with new historical research. In many crags today we see dueling guidebooks. Given the amount of work that the Lawyer/Haas team have put in and the excellence of the result, no rival is gonna draw a gun on them, ever.
