The spectacular Volume 2, the first published of four volumes of David Jones' Herculean labour of chronicling all the alpine climbs of the Canadian Rockies. Stunning!
Rockies Central covers the ranges on either side of the Trans-Canada Highway between Canmore and Lake Louise and those on either side of Highway 93 South from Castle Junction. This area encompasses the Fairholme, Sawback and Slate ranges north of the Trans-Canada Highway and the Kananaskis, Goat, Sundance and Massive ranges south of the highway. Included are all the peaks in the vicinity of Moraine Lake, Lake Louise and Lake O'Hara as well as the Ball, Ottertail and Vermilion ranges on either side of Highway 93 South.
There are 560 pages of glorious photos and detailed text descriptions that describe the great and famous routes on world-renowned mountains, and hundreds of little-known moderate ridges up lovely peaks where climbers are rarely seen. It is a guide for all climbers and scramblers.
