Third, and final, edition of this classic Wyoming guidebook. By Orrin H. Bonney & Lorraine Bonney.
An iconic work in the history of Wyoming climbing and outdoorsmanship, the Bonney Guide is a treasure trove of information about climbing across the state of Wyoming, as well as other areas of interest like geology, history, hunting & fishing, and more. Not nearly as single-minded as the climbing books of today, this one places the Wyoming climber in her true milieu: an environment which is rugged, varied, and individual. In a chapter on the Snowy Range (famously obscure), Bonney writes: "The absence of pitons on a route you put up is no proof it's a 'first', the last guy there may not have scared so easy."
Hardcover in excellent condition. No dust jacket - none was issued. 701 pages, with index, bibliography, and list of 13,000'+ peaks in Wyoming. Many maps, illustrations, and photos throughout.
