Re: guidebookalthough I know Chic and Ben well and this is a fantastic book about the stories and history of early break through climbing in the Canadian Rockies Radek, the new "guide" book you want is Andy Genereux's published in 2006. Andy puts a ton of time into his books as well as his own routes. "Yamnuska Rock", put out by RMB, Rocky Mountain Books. Of course you are welcome to borrow any of my guide books when you find yourself in Canmore. The old guide book we talk about is "Bow Valley Rock" which has an outdated section on Yam in it. Cheers.

Re: guidebookDow - thank you very much for the info. and the generous book loan offer! Guess I'm kind of a guidebook freak & so I ordered a copy already. Always nice to daydream over a guidebook. Best regards & thanks again!
