CASCADE ALPINE GUIDE (CLIMBING AND HIGH ROUTES) BECKEY 1ST. 1973 VG PBK

Description: CASCADE ALPINE GUIDECLIMBING AND HIGH ROUTESCOLUMBIA RIVER TO STEVENS PASSBYFRED BECKEYPUBLISHED BYTHE MOUNTAINEERSCOPYRIGHT1973THIS BOOK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONPREVIOUS OWNERS NAME INSIDE FRONT FLYLEAFOTHERWISE A VERY NICE SOLID BOOK. NO MARKS OR CREASED PAGES. This is the hiking bible of the Cascades--it is for the mountaineer/avid hiker who wants to step it up a notch. Beckey always offers an in-depth historic perspective of each hike in the book (which is sometimes longer than the trail description). Harder technical routes have detailed directions, but the easier routes are sometimes lacking in detail (it would be obvious if you were Beckey). Although, I've found the lack of direction is sometimes nice for you are able to discover the hike on your own. I've also found that if there is a lack of direction, it usually doesn't matter what you do, you'll get to the top without much added danger. If you're a hard-core hiker looking for a challenge, this book is for you. If you plan on getting this book to JUST climb the direct route of Mt Baker or the Disappointment Cleaver route of Rainier, the Becky series would be overkill. His series really lets you explore every peak there is, not just the big 'classics' This book is not for the beginner. If you're not interested in mountaineering, alpine, or rock climbing, but still want to get outdoors, I HIGHLY Recommend the Foghorn Outdoors Wahington Hiking book instead of the "Beckey Bible". That is the best book, in my eyes, for Washington Dayhikes (plus many longer hikes
