Wait, I just remembered he may have had something preliminary put together before that but nothing official. He definitely had some of his unique topo maps drawn up. There was an issue of Rock and Ice from '93 or so (not in the climbing museum) that had a Porter article about the Red. It included miniguides of some of the new (at that time) crags.
There was a thin red one that came out in spring of '93, but was originally done in '92. I have it, and would be glad to scan it for the museum if scin wants it here.
Isn't that the guide where PJ filed a freedom of information act with the Feds and got a release of all the correspondence that climbers had written in concerning the original Forest Service attempt to reign in climbing, and then he published the correspondence in the guide?

Lurkist, wasn't the big dust up with the FS in about '94? Remember those awful meetings? I think Porter was reacting to that. There may have been two editions of his unofficial guide, the anarchy one coming out after all of that.
I still have most of those old guides, and all the mag articles.There is a mini guide by Steve Cater in a 92 Sport Connection mag called Bourbon and Bluegrass with a great pic of Porter on Soul Ram. Lander, I also have your old paper mini guide to Wall of Denial.
