Any idea when the print version will be out for those of us without an Iphone?

Book?

What is that, like one of those paper iPads?

Sounds so archaic, it just might be trendy.

Is there anywhere on the site that shows an overall overview of the whole gorge and each site's relation to on another geographically?

Pretty sure it's late July. That's what the website says.

good, the spine on my 2nd edition is starting to fall apart
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.

published, but I already found problems with it:
... for example, the numbering of the routes in "Funk Rock City" chapter is screwed up (all shifted by -1) (e.g. Eye of the Needle is numbered #15 blue/sport (which it is) in the picture and map, but is #14 red/trad (which it's not) in the text, etc)...
I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every moment of it !!!

I bought it when it first released and like it a lot. I really like the biographies esp Kipps, Bobs and the tribute to Terry and John. The routes have really exploded in number in recent years and I really think that is cool too. I bought my first guidebook when I was 20 and that was in 1977 - there weren't many routes in it. I bought it at one of the only outdoor shops in Louisville at the time - Sage outfitters on Bardstown Road (it's a tattoo parlor now.) Johns was my first real guidebook that I climbed with and I still have it although it is well thumbed. I think Ray did a great job when he took it over but the newest edition is really cool to read and own. I am hoping to actually make it down in the upcoming weeks and climb some of the new routes that are featured in it. Nice job ray :)
