Interview With Evan Wisheropp On Route Development For Redwood Burl

Written By Liv Walton

I had the honor to interview Evan Wisheropp about his guidebook and routesetting career. Evan wrote Redwood Burl: A Climber’s Guide to Northwest California, over nine years. The stunning photos Evan captured for his guidebook and detailed descriptions of crags, prove his passion for the area and its development. In this interview, Evan unpacks what it takes to develop a crag, shares why he loves climbing in Northwest California and gives the inside scoop on some of his favorite Redwood Burl routes.
