It has some stuff in it that I've not seen elsewhere. Some of the stuff is obviously better covered by other books (eg. Tuolumne Meadows, Pinnacles). Some of it looks over-rated (a slab at Tollhouse Rock for example). It kind of gives you a taste of each area, but isn't really comprehensive for any of them. I did find out about a few areas that I plan to visit.
So the book is in front of me, and lists a few "seaside" climbing areas on the North Coast -
- Salt Point State Park (sonoma coast) - bouldering, sport climbing, some trad
- Moonstone Beach (near Arcata) - sport climbing, bouldering
- Patricks Point (near Arcata) - sport climbing, some trad
- Promontory (near Crescent City) - sport climbing
- Footsteps (near Crescent City) - sport climbing
Tom Slater lists a more comprehensive guidebook for the north coast as Bigfoot Country Climbing by Eric Chemello and Paul Humphrey. He says Bay Area Rock by Jim Thornburg is the one for Salt Point SP. I've seen pics of your climbing library Radek, and you might as well just get this one Oh, and it has several pics of notable SP'ers in it
