This is a lot of guidebook! California Road Trip has over 450 pages, a grand tour of 2000+ routes on over 100 crags. Perhaps “climbing atlas” would be a better term. Boulders, sport, and trad, all on granite, volcanic, and limestone…it’s a safe bet to say this guidebook holds several lifetimes worth of climbing! Each area is listed with a great overview, including information on more in-depth guidebooks and season specifics. For the big areas, this book just scratches the surface, while for many of the smaller ones it’s all you’ll ever need. Whether you’re a hardened California local, or simply visiting for the first time, this book is sure to inspire some new adventures. The open road is calling!
