I love guidebooks...new ones, old ones, the minimalist old school ones & the shiny pretty pictured-up ones...for me a guidebook comes first & if it gets my engine going, I make (or try to make) a trip to an area. Great for daydreaming.

They should be used as a reference "Guide" only.
They are NOT a/the bible.
They are solely opinions of the author.
In many cases, the author climbed less that 25% of the routes within the covers. They have little actual first hand knowledge of the routes.
That is a farse and the reason I say that GB's are to be used as a ref only.

Did you climb every route that is in your GB?
Yes. In both of them, actually.

I will vouch for that.
Chief, it's not really CP's style to put second-hand information in his books. And it's definitely not his style to lie about it. That I can guarantee; what he says is true. He climbed all those crazy peaks.
