Its been a while since I have been there, but my guess is that in the summer foliage, you are not going to be able see any rock cairns. But if they are there, then perhaps the cairns should be included in the description? but I still I feel the current directions implying a 150 yard walk to the turnoff are misleading. Has anyone confirmed the online guide and published guide have the same description?

I'll tell you what needs correcting. When you open the oven,the light comes on. When you open the fridge the light comes on. now if you open the microwave theres no damn light. Start the microwave and the stupid light comes on. who the hell wants to watch cold coffeee spinning around?

I drew a damn map for the Muscle Beach approach and it still didn't help. Maybe we can get the RRGCC to pave a path?

We all get lost trying to find crags. You make the best of it. I suspect people make a mistake finding Muscle before the trail up the hill. How else could you wind up on the other side of the valley?

I really mean no offense to the work on your guidebook. I had been to Muscle Beach before the new printed guide came out, so honestly I have not used the approach description in your printed guidebook. I guess I assumed that you reuse the data you have collected in the online guide for your printed book.

I gifted my book to a friend and no longer have a copy so I apologize that I cannot confirm whether this has been fixed in your new printed guidebook. So that being said, maybe my post is more appropriate for another thread about the online guide.

Anyway its really not that big of a deal, I was just trying to provide useful feedback.

This is probably old news...but Government Cheese at Military is an open climb, it's not closed.

Deep thoughts man. Maybe inventors thought that if people were silly/desperate enough to watch stuff spin in the microwave that they'd be close enough to absorb the waves needed to fry their brain - or at least become sterile and prevent further micro-watching idiot offspring. I can only guess. . .

Calming Curtis and Liken the Lichen are called Erik's First 5.6 and Erik's Second 5.6 in the print guidebook, even though the route descriptions of Gecko Circus and Smoothy Nut refer to them by the same names as the online guide. Also, I believe one of the pictures of routes at Left Flank misidentifies the start of Table or Mercy or something, but I don't have my book with me to check.
