A Climbing Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners

Rating:
Summary: Great Reference Book
Review: Great Reference book. Includes maps and directions for the best way to do any of the Fourteeners. Excellent maps to show you physically what you will encounter. Another good reference is [online]where you can read and see photos from folks climbing to check current conditions after picking the one you want to climb from this book.

Summary: Not the best guide
Review: I have used this guide as well as Roach(99) to climb most of the Colorado Fourteeners. This book has some interesting historical data, but has poor maps and lists only one route on most peaks. Roach's 1999 edition is far superior.

Summary: A useful, interesting guide to Colorado's Fourteeners
Review: I used this book as my guide for climbing most of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks. It includes good route descriptions, photographs of each of the peaks, and interesting historical information about the mountains, and people who have climbed them. The guide also provides excellent maps for the hiking and climbing routes it describes.

Rating:
Summary: Get high
Review: This book is the definitive guide to Colorado 14ers. There are newer, flashier books available, but this is the one that goes in my pack before every climb and has for the last 20 years. It is a must have.

Summary: A useful, interesting guide to Colorado's Fourteeners
Review: This is one of the earlier books on climbing Colorado's Fourteeners; before everyone was doing it. The book serves as my guide as I work on reaching all of Colorado's summits over 14,000 feet. For one mountaineer's specific tales of high adventure in the Colorado Rockies, read TJ Burr's "Rocky Mountain Adventure Collection."

Summary: To be consulted after you have climbed your mountain.
Review: Yes, Bourneman and Lampert are good climbers. Too good! This is a text to consult after you have climbed your mountain. I suggest that you choose your route in "Colorado's Fourteeners: From Hikes to Climbs" by Gerry Roach. Bourneman often selects routes that are not appropriate for those who are not up to his ability. I have learned the hard way. After, 37 successful Colorado 14er climbs, I recommend Roach. You should also check Edrinn's "Grand Slam", and Ormes' "Guide to the Colorado Mountains". Bourneman and Lampert salvage two stars, but only because their historical information is interesting.
