(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best extreme sports books

You definitely have to get on High Plains Drifter (V7) in the Buttermilks. It's a classic V7 test-piece. The crux is a bit high off the deck so it's nice to have another party there to combine pads.

In the Happies, hit up the Hulk (V6). It's the only 4-star (out of 4 possible) boulder in the Happies according to the Bishop Bouldering Guide (that guide book is awesome; I'd recommend picking one up if you go).

If you want to pick up a cheap V10, hit up Cocktail Sauce in the Buttermilks. It's said to go around V7-8, and I'm inclined to agree that the grade's a bit soft.

Pow pow (V8) in the Sads is a super fun body-tensiony, sloper climb.

Fly Boy (sit) (V8) is a pretty classic V8 in the Buttermilks. This one you definitely need to hit up when there's a lot of people around to pad up the large-ish rock hanging out in the fall zone.

Hey
I would say its worth investing in the kit, because you will quickly save time and money. I've worked as a ski tech for the last 5 years and I've just written a book on home ski maintenance if you want some more into on the subject http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Ski-Maintenance-Book-Waxing/dp/1515145379/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452256453&sr=8-2&keywords=ski+maintenance

Hope you have a good winter.

I just reread that for the 3rd or 4th time this weekend, while watching the movie version (Everest 2015). I've got a ton of climbing disaster books (and a few non-disaster ones).

A new (to me) book that I also read this weekend was Ascent into Hell, I grabbed it because it was free with Kindle Unlimited (I read a LOT of books) and it was really, really good. There was no disaster, but it was a good blow-by-blow journal of a man climbing Mount Everest.

The maximum ride series might be right up your alley. I believe there was even a movie that came out recently. Here is a link to some used versions. I always recommend the library first though.

I found reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougall inspired me to change my running style - It's a story but also has random hints and tips in random parts.

High by David Coley & Andy Kirkpatrick has a huge amount of information on modern techniques, gear etc. But it's aimed more at tips & new tricks for the already experienced than at teaching the basics to beginners.

Here's a link to a guide book that includes Hokkaido:

Eugene S. Robinson, host of the Knuckle Up podcast, the BEST MMA podcast out there...author of "FIGHT: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Ass Kicking, but were afraid you would get your ass kicked, for asking"

Eugene is also the lead singer of the band [Oxbow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxbow_(band) and Deputy Editor at OZY.com.

Eugene is a very interesting guy who could easily yammer on for 3 hours or more about MMA, politics, music, whatever.

Time may be running short...get Eugene on the podcast, SOON!

by analog guidebook do you mean a print copy? You can try the new guide which was just released last month, or the old one which has about 3 times the # of problems listed as the new one does (the new one is an "essential problems" guidebook

Bishop is generally fairly well graded, not too hard not too soft. I can provide problem recommendations based on your grade suggestions

Someone posted about it here on reddit. But it was just a hit and run blog spam. I called him out on it....with a bunch of questions...everyone yelled at me to 'give the guy a chance'. They were wrong. All of you. Wrong!

Great article! Have you read the Book about it? Carved by God, Cursed by the Devil? Not a bad read. http://www.amazon.com/Carved-God-Cursed-Devil-Archer/dp/097707353X
