About the book

Boulder Canyon is one of Colorado’s most popular climbing areas, a favorite of seasoned enthusiasts as well as those just getting into the sport. Some crags are only minutes from downtown, and there are sport and trad climbs 20 to 400 feet long, 5.2 to 5.14. The granite is varied and friendly, with delicate slabs, splitter cracks, roofs, arêtes — the works. This book gives you everything you need to explore 2000+ climbs: helpful mapping, user-friendly layout, and inspiring photography. New in this 4th edition are contenders for hardest, easiest, and longest routes in the canyon, as well as complete public-transit info for climbers, and excellent new overview photos for navigating to the crags.

While you’re enjoying this sweet little canyon you might notice shiny new bolts and remarkable trail work at some of the more popular crags. If you like what you see, join the Boulder Climbing Community to support more essential work in Boulder Canyon. We are donating $1 per book sold to help with their hard work to maintain this special climbing area.

About the author

Topher Donahue grew up in Allenspark, CO, at the southern end of Rocky Mountain National Park, where his father founded the Colorado Mountain School. Topher began mountain-guide training at age 7 and started guiding rock climbs on Lumpy Ridge at age 14; by 18 he was guiding in Alaska and Mexico. 

Topher studied journalism at Colorado State University and pursued a career in adventure photojournalism. His early start as a mountain guide led to early retirement from the profession, and today he finds the keyboard a more restful way to make a living, as an author and ghostwriter. This is his eighth book, but first guidebook. You can learn more about this work and read some funny stories by checking out his website.

He lives in Nederland, Colorado, with his wife and twin son and daughter. Despite having climbed in over 25 countries, he is largely content just going climbing in Boulder Canyon.
