Detailed information about rocks in the Wasatch Front, the big ones. I'm not a rock climber, I'm a hiker and I love the Wasatch Mountains.

The maps and instructions are so clear. This book is a must have for Utah climbers especially sport climbers. I like the ratings of the routes... the book doesn't only rate advanced climbs as good ones. So, I was able to use this book when taking friends who had never been climbing. I was able to find some great beginner routes.

This is the climbing book for anyone living in Salt Lake City. Has both sport and trad. Could use a better index though.
