         Item #: B3043
TITLE: A Rockclimber's Guide to the Alabama Hills
Author(s): Michael Strassman
Pages: 80 8.375" x 5.375" pages, maps, topos
Price: $ 14.95 @ 20.0% off = $ 11.96
      This new climbing area should see a lot of traffic due to its relative proximity to the west's major metropolitan areas. Situated in Lone Pine, CA at the foot of Mt. Whitney, the Alabama Hills are 3-4 hours from Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Also a famous movie location, the Hills feature over 200 climbing routes from sport climbs to cracks. Most climbs are moderates within the 5.9-5.10 range, although more difficult climbs are being ascended all the time. The majority of the climbs are within a five-minute walk from the car. Situated at 4500 feet, The Hills are climbable year round, even in the summer because the majority of the crags face north. The town of Lone Pine is only five minutes away with all the amenities. Five campgrounds are also within a few miles radius. The book has detailed maps, topos and overviews to easily get climbers to the crags.
