Cheat Canyon Bouldering Volume I: Coopers Rock

The long-awaited bouldering guidebook to Coopers Rock— One of America’s largest bouldering areas, has now arrived. This guide details 2,500 boulder problems within Coopers Rock State Forest on the north rim of the Cheat Canyon, including 2,100 previously unpublished lines (for perspective- just the Tilted Tree area alone is larger than the entire old Coopers Rock bouldering guidebook). Full color photos display nearly every problem in the forest, along with a spattering of full-page action shots of previously unknown classics. Clear directions with coordinates and 125 intricate maps will get you straight to the new project you thought would be your warmup. This book incorporates several features I’ve always wanted in other guides, including 19 style-specific tick lists, 193 climbs that stay dry in the rain, and the introduction of 25 Font-style bouldering circuits throughout the forest. Most importantly, this book never runs out of battery or shuts off in those crisp autumn temps.  Coopers Rock should be considered a destination area for bouldering, and I hope this guidebook shows you why.
