ExcitibleBoy wrote:The Beckey guides are the closest thing that comes to a comprehensive guide to the Cascades. Descriptions of approaches, climbing and descent routes are often very minimal for all but the most popular climbs. Rack recommendations and time estimates are often not very helpful.
For climbers new to the Cascades I recommend the following guide books which have good driving directions, approaches, best time to attempt the climb, good rack recommendations, good route and descent descriptions:
http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Climbs-C ... 630&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Climbs-C ... 630&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Climbs-No ... 819&sr=1-1
Although not as well researched or written, the Jeff Smoot's guidebooks may be useful as well:
