Oh yes. The first-ever rock climbing guidebook for the Needles Black Hills of South Dakota. Handmade and self-published by Herb Conn. Good luck finding one of these anywhere else. Nine pages, staple-bound, fold-out format. Cathedral Spires, Picket Fence, and Sylvan Lake areas covered. This is obviously a collectible more than a functional guidebook. Condition is about as good as can be expected for something this old.
This copy comes from the personal library of Steve Komito, who climbed with Layton Kor on the FA of Standing Rock and ran Komito Boots in Estes Park for 50 years. Half the profits from the sale will go back to Steve, who is 84 and in declining health.
