This is a great book but it does have a few draw backs. I like how the authors include so many problems for climbers of all levels. Although, the book is a bit difficult to understand if you have never been to the gunks before. Anyone who has or would like to boulder at the gunks will love this guide. The positives largely outway the few negatives and if you do infact go to the gunks to boulder, i gaurantee that you will not be the only person on the trail with this book.
