The stately Flatirons rise majestically above Boulder, Colorado, a city considered by many to be the center of rock climbing in North America. For decades these cliffs have beckoned climbers to find adventure on routes ranging from slabby, casual Sunday cruises to overhanging, cutting-edge desperates. The rock quality is outstanding, the setting is unsurpassed, and the power of the Flatirons remains forever in the hearts and minds of anybody who]s ever called Boulder home. "Rock Climbing the Flatirons" is the second book in a series of three that replace Richard Rossiter]s out of print "Boulder Climbs South" and "Boulder Climbs North," Rossiter]s legendary attention to detail translates into clearly drawn topos, easy-to-use maps, and thorough route descriptions that will guide climbers to many years of challenge and fulfillment in the most revered of climbing areas, the Flatirons.

The out-of-print Boulder Climbs North and Boulder Climbs South have been revamped and republished as three separate volumes. This is the first of the three, covering all trad and sport crags in the canyon. Former park ranger Richard Rossiter is a master when it comes to maps and topos, and his detailed, accurate route descriptions make this book essential for anyone intending to climb in Boulder. Includes favorites such as Castle Rock, Elephant Buttresses, Cobb Rock and the new Upper Dream Canyon area. Ice climbs are also featured.

'When Marie D'Anger saw that look in Edy Baudin's eye, she knew it was time to go home.' Marie D'Anger returns to the family home in south-west Australia after years of living in England, to a father whose destructive impulses have been curbed by a stroke, and a mother whose passivity she never understood. Behind her is Edy Baudin and the deep love they shared before he left, suddenly and without explanation. Further back still is her father and his fraught relationships with his mother, brother and step-father. But when Edy follows Marie to Australia, her father's shocking revelation brings hidden things to the surface. This is quintessential Rossiter: an intense, poetic, family drama and psychological tragedy.
