Damn Artsay you shold be a referance librarian

I think that this is closer to what aaron wants

The TOC for the Road to Astroman. I think that they still offer it at supertopo, if I'm reading it correctly, as a book and as an ebook.

Just climb every time you get a chance, work on your endurance. Go to a alcoholics anonymous class so you can go one day without drinking. Take up running for your heart.

You can still get it from Super Topo. One the recomended climbs is the Rostrum, which I think was a little tougher then Astroman. Getting on granite is more important then anything, sandstone isn't the ideal training. Best of luck

Whoa, theres a super topo! I only knew of Dr. Topo. What other topo sites are their?

Definitely do what Chris says and go to Cookie cliff. Do Beverly's Tower which has an interesting bombay chimney type finish move. Then traverse over to Wheat Thin. It's a little scary for the second to traverse over to Wheat Thin. Wheat Thin is the coolest layback flake around (mixed gear). The top has a funky but easy traverse left to the anchors for the second. Then top rope Butterballs one of the coolest finger cracks around. I fell four times but eventually made it. It gets harder as you go. 8)

i tried to order it and the site said it was no longer offered. they had integrated the climbs into other books.
