Brand-new Yosemite Guide and App

Some of the most legendary Yosemite climbs are now joined in the new guidebook Rock Climbing Yosemite Valley and also available in the Vertical-Life climbing app. The famous Yosemite Valley is probably a must in a serious climber’s career: no other area offers such a high number of easy accessible towering routes on super solid granite. The new climbing guide is the result of intensive work carried out by E. Sloan, L. Barth, C. Bedinghaus and M. Jakubowski. It contains topos of famous routes such as the Nose, the Dawn Wall, Separate Reality and Northwest Face. Climbers can buy the new guide including a free app code, which means that all the topos will be available also for your smartphone – paperwork was yesterday! You can download all the topos beforehand, as cellphone service is a scarce resource in the valley. It is the first guide outside Europe to be published in the Vertical-Life climbing app, which so far covers some of the most important European climbing areas.
