Even fifty years after publication, the "fifty Classics" remains THE list of climbs to do in North America. The book itself has become quite rare, but the popularity of the list remains. Impress your friends and stoke yourself up on some classics with this paperback version of one of the most sought after climbing books of all time.
Routes needed to meet three criteria: Striking appearance from afar, significant climbing history, and excellent quality of climbing. The enduring popularity of this list indicates that Steve Roper and Allen Steck selected well.
324 pages, b&w, with index, bibliography, and notes on sources. Pretty serious sun-fading to spine and some general reading war on covers and corners.
