Synopsis

Southern Yosemite Rock Climbs is a comprehensive guide to the rock climbing in the uncrowded southern boundary region of Yosemite National Park. These areas include: Mt. Starr King, Wawona, Fresno Dome, The Balls, Mammoth Pool, and Shuteye Ridge. Originally published in 1988, and out of print for several years, this guidebook chronicles 20 years of Southern Yosemite climbing from the early 70s exploration by Royal Robbins and Fred Beckey through the late 80s sport climbing era. This reprint of the original 1988 edition contains first-hand descriptions of the climbs as told by the original ascentionists. Since the publication of the Southern Yosemite guide in 1988, new approaches have appeared, new routes have been discovered and established, and a new generation of climbers have discovered the adventure of Southern Yosemite.
