What Customers Say About Colorado's 14ers, 2nd Ed.: From Hikes to Climbs:

This is a great reference to Colorado's 14,000+ foot peaks. The maps not only clearly depict the routes described with full topographic detail, they are also color coded to show which sections of which routes have specific difficulties (climbing classes).I had only two issues with this book - the first is that it apparently underestimates difficulty of getting to trail heads with normal cars. The natural grouping of the peaks, the description of all trail heads in each area, and providing numerous routes up each peak are some of the outstanding features. Another is the quality of the maps - in fact they are so good, I wish the author would offer a set of the maps enlarged as a supplemental product. The second was that it does not include an overall map of the state showing where the 14ers are located - this is handy if you're in one area and wondering which are closest. Fortunately, both these can be overcome by checking the Internet.In summary, if one plans to summit more than one Colorado 14er, this book is indispensable.

Gerry Roach has written one of the best guide books I have ever had the pleasure of owning. $ 12 bucks. If you have the basic experience needed for climbing 14'ers this book is extreemly usefull. Complete and well written from approaches to technicial route descriptions. Huh. Oh the one negitive is you would not want to through this book in your ruck sack it weighs about 5 lbs.

This is the definitive volume on all Colorado 14ers. It includes detailed information from locations of trailheads to routes and photos that will allow even a novice to safely climb in Colorado.

I bought this book for my husband and he loves it. He has been to Colorado 3 times and always reads it before he goes and takes it with him on the trip.

This should be the backbone of anyone's guidebooks for climbing 14ers. It is extremely well organized and has tons of useful data. You will not be dissapointed. Get the book and get out there.
