Perspective changing
Long has the refuge been a place for trad and trad only. When I started climbing I was told there wasn’t any good bouldering here. This book is highlighting 280+ of some absolutely incredible lines and inspiring projects. Get this book and solidify your place in history as joining the new era in refuge climbing,

Refuge Bouldering
A great book for climbers. Who knew that every boulder had a name?? This is more than we can do, but we'll give the book to friends who can actually use it. And we'll keep hiking!

Excellent Format, Topos, and Descriptions
Ryan did it! He has shined a light on the underground scene of Wichitas bouldering. As guidebooks go, this smaller bouldering guidebook is definitely worth mentioning. It really has excellent formatting and pictures with great topos and descriptions. It looks pretty and you're sure to find the boulders out in the Wichitas that you're psyched to get on.
