Product Description
From the Back Cover
The excellent crags of New Mexico and Texas beckon climbers from all over the world. Stunning alpine and desert scenery, high-quality rock, no crowds, and year-round climbing are but a few features that will draw you to places like Hueco Tanks, Cochiti Mesa, Socorro's Enchanted Tower, the Organ and Dona Ana mountains, Enchanted Rocks, and the Pecos River Gorge, to name just a few. Rock Climbing New Mexico & Texas is the only guide available that covers all the major climbing areas in these two vast states. In the 23 areas covered, more than 100 crags and mountain faces offer hundreds of routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.14, appealing to both traditional and sport climbers. This guide includes first-hand information for area overviews and climbing histories, route betas and topos, detailed location maps and photos, as well as recommendations for equipment and information for approaches and descents. Also included are listings for shops, gyms, and guide services. Rock Climbing New Mexico & Texas is essential for planning your next climbing trip to the Land of Enchantment and the Lone Star State.

2.0 out of 5 stars
not great,
By Kyle Larson (corpus, texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock Climbing New Mexico and Texas (Paperback)
for texas, it is not that great. The enchanted rock guide is all but worthless. Reportedly inaccurate in other areas as well. For an enchanted rock guide, check out erockonline.com

A much needed guide, but . . .,

This review is from: Rock Climbing New Mexico and Texas (Paperback)
Dennis has done what a lot of folks have thought about doing, but never quite gotten around to it - a comprehensive guide to the state of New Mexico (Texas is in there, too, but I haven't climbed there, so can't judge that part). It is a very useful book for those of us who live and climb in NM, but as might be expected of a first effort, is incomplete and inaccurate for many areas. Still, having some information is a lot better than having none, so I recommend buying it. Hopefully Dennis will proceed with a second edition, but I doubt it, because there is a limited market, and it's a huge amount of work.

Poor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock Climbing New Mexico and Texas (Paperback)
Having put up hundreds of routes in New Mexico, I was expecting this book to be an updated collection of all the new routes that have been going in in New Mexico. It's not. It's a collection of routes from very old sources. Let's hope Walt Wehner or Luke Laeser get their guides done soon!!
