Banff Rock:

Update April 2011: The Banff Rock guidebook is currently at the layout stage prior to printing and climbing photographs are required to enhance the text. Good action shots or ones showing rockclimbing in a mountain environment are preferred. Anything will be considered and some funds are available for payment - particularly for a good cover shot. The index below records the status of the layout which unfortunately is a slow process (two months approximately). Once a section is complete, it is difficult to incorporate photos or new routes (unless they take up two complete pages) so please avoid those areas. Thanks. Photos currently required are bolded.

Content:

Material in this section of the web site is from the proposed Banff Rock guidebook which is currently in preparation. A tentative table of contents is given below with some new and sample information provided for use and review. Any comments about this information would be much appreciated by the author Chris Perry who may be contacted at chris.perry@sait.ca. The quality of the finished guidebook depends to some extent on input from the climbing community - please help in any way you can, even the smallest detail! Thanks.
