This guide is for climbers with busy lives who want to make the most of their time on the rock.

Yet these routes have been selected for quality of experience, too, rated on a three-star system.
There's something here for everyone: sandstone pinnacles, alpine granite, and cliffs rising abovehigh desert terrain. There are topo maps or photos with route overlays for most routes. A 'Choose a Climbing Area' chart compares destinations by climbing type, rock type, best time of year, length of approach, and drive time from urban areas.
