A Climber's Guide to Tennessee Volume 2: The Hinterlands

About the Guide: I'm an author, but I'm foremost a climber, and I love to travel to new places. I am also a guidebook aficionado and have bought and used many guidebooks over the years - some were great and others have been terrible. Some were dangerously inaccurate, while others may have had good info, but fell apart the first time they got thrown in a pack. I'm sorta old school as well and feel that guidebooks should include information about the first ascent party and dates if possible. I feel that guidebooks are also a historical document, tracing the efforts of climbers, climbing areas and the evolution of the sport. In this way, new climbers come to appreciate the past and hopefully develop a sense of the history and ethical considerations that are so important to climbing.

This new edition of the Dixie Cragger's Atlas continues in the above vein and boasts many improvements over the previous edition. If you already own the Dixie Craggers Atlas, why should you buy the new ones? Here's why:
