Looking for a 14er/13er guidebook? I recommend picking up a book written by
Gerry Roach. Most of you probably know who he is and respect the
information he has provided to the climbing community.
His books are helpful for anyone heading out to Colorado’s highest
peaks. I’ve seen countless
hikers carrying Gerry’s 14er book on the trail or studying it at the
trailhead. If you are going to climb these peaks, it’s vital that you know
the way before hitting the trail and Gerry’s books make your
preparation much easier. They are available at book stores or online using the links
below.
More recently, Gerry teamed up with Larry Chapman at Fort Collins Video to produce two
climbing videos. In 2003, they released "Longs Peak - The Mountain and Your Journeys"
that provides a unique view of the Longs climbing experience. The
beautiful fly-bys provide extra excitement. And just
recently, they released "Chicago Basin and its Fabulous Fourteeners!". The DVD provides a good look at Chicago Basin and the routes up Eolus, Sunlight,
and Windom. Both DVDs are narrated by Gerry and provide great views plus
route descriptions for these great peaks. A written route description is
an important tool when climbing 14ers, but a narrated movie goes beyond the
limited pages of a book.
