Gives a 'best of' of bouldering venues across Northern California, from Colombia College to Mount Lassen Park. Not the most exhaustive source, but a good, compact, guidebook to see you around the areas. Blurb:
"This guide covers more than 1700 bouldering problems from the 50 best ares in Northern California. It includes the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, Sonora and Bear Valley, Bald Rock, and Mt Lassen, the North Coast and all the classic spots in between. We listed all the classic problems as well as a number of new cutting-edge, V-ridiculously-hard testpieces. You will find nearly every rock type: Granite, limestone, sandstone, schist, chert, volcanic tuff, greenstone, and pure California Jade. The scenery is as varied as the rock: beaches, mountains, river beds, oak-shaded foothills, and High Sierra peaks. In addition, there is info on another 20 bonus areas with hints of the limitless potential just waiting to be discovered. Get out there and send!"
