The first published guidebook to J-Tree. The introduction notes "piton placement may be difficult" due to flared and bottoming-out cracks, and suggests "nuts may be useful at times, mostly in belay anchors". Cams were yet to be invented. Good times, good times.
Uses the NCCS grading system (F-grades), which briefly competed with the YDS in the 1960s and 1970s, before eventually fading into obscurity. There is a useful conversion chart in the front of the book comparing YDS, NCCS, and British grading systems.
80 pages, b&w. This copy in truly fantastic condition, appears almost unused except for the tape to the edges, and a handful of notations next to climbs recording climbing partners and dates, and a small notation in pencil on the cover.
