The next big 8a project - Top-50 destinations book

The Ultimate Coffee Table Book is what we are aiming for. This means a large book where all the best Crags and Boulder areas in the world are presented including some not yet so well known places. We are looking for pictures that describe the best climbs, sectors, scenary, rest day activities, the people, the campings, the approaches and the wild life etc = The whole package that makes it so fun enjoying the lifestyle of climbing. The plan is to publish a smaller free of charge book in 2009, continue to gather information and present the Ultimate Coffee Table Book in full scale in 2010. The Top-50 destinations will be choosen by the 8a data base and we hope the whole climbing community will take part and contribute with info and pics/J
