Rock Climbing in Acadia National Park: A Pocket Guide
Rock Climbing in Acadia National Park A Pocket Guide Author:Pete Warner Climbing in Acadia is fantastic. It´s one of the few places that you can look out to sea as you climb and listen to fog horns and bell buoys while enjoying some of the nicest granite on the east coast.

Areas covered include: South Wall of the Precipice, Otter Cliffs, Eagle Crag, Canada Cliffs, South Bubble, Beech Mountain and bouldering in the park.

I published the first edition of Rock Climbing in Acadia National Park in May 1997. I hadn't planned on writing a book, but was frustrated by the fact that there was nothing in print about the great climbing in the park. In just a few weeks I had my first edition together and printed 300 copies. Those had sold out by July and I was off and running. I'm on my third edition now and the quality of the printing and photodiagrams are much better. Having used many other authors climbing guidebooks prior to writing this one, I wanted to make it easy to read. On each page with route descriptions you will always find a diagram of the climbs on the facing page. This means that some of the diagrams are repeated in the book, but I thought it was well worth the effort. Climbers don't want to spend time reading the book - they want to climb!« less
