DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe new edition of Climber’s Guide to Devil’s Lake is your guide to the fractures, cracks, ledges, slabs, chimneys, and other rock formations of Devil’s Lake State Park, the most popular climbing spot in the Midwest. This bible for climbers locates and describes more than 1600 climbs. With more than 10,000 copies of the first edition in print, this handy volume remains the only comprehensive guide to climbing in the panoramic park located near Baraboo, Wisconsin. It describes many more climbs on recently acquired park land as well as in relatively unknown areas, encouraging exploration of new routes to decrease the overuse of, and damage to, the most popular areas. Major changes in the new edition include revisions of the hiking trail descriptions, the climbing safety and ethics sections, and the rating system, which has been changed from the National Climbing Classification System to the Yosemite Decimal System. A new chart compares these two systems to others. This edition is useful to climbers of all abilities and preferences, and the book’s excellent organization, along with fifty-nine new and revised diagrams, eleven maps, and twenty-two photographs, enable both novices and experts to locate challenging routes easily. Author “Olle” Swartling draws on his own forty years of climbing experience at Devil’s Lake and elsewhere, comments from other climbers, and information from out-of-print guidebooks to improve this edition, retaining the informative geologic and natural history of the Baraboo hills contributed by Patricia K. Armstrong.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPart history, part biography, part climbing guide, Schurman Rock: A History & Guide describes the design and construction of Schurman Rock, the world's first artificial climbing wall, built in 1938-39 at Camp Long in Seattle, Washington. The book includes a history of the creation of Camp Long by by William G. Long, a Superior Court judge, who seized the opportunity to turn an unused 68-acre tract of swampy forest land into a wilderness camp for youth, and a biography of Clark Schurman, a Scoutmaster and Chief Climbing Guide at Mount Rainier, who envisioned and then built his "dream rock" to provide a place to teach mountaineering skills to youth. Thousands of kids and adults, including Fred Beckey and Jim and Lou Whittaker, learned to climb on Schurman Rock over the past 80 years. In 1938, Schurman published an article describing 22 routes on the rock--"short bits" as he called them. This book expands on this with a guide to several boulder problems on the rock. Includes many historic photos and a foreword by Pacific Northwest climbing legend Jim Whittaker.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn 8 March 2012 Frank Moe completed a week-long 362-mile trek on a dogsled pulled by a team of ten dogs from Grand Marais, Minnesota, to the State Capitol in Saint Paul. He delivered to Governor Dayton over 12,000 petitions from Minnesotans opposed to sulfide mining in the Lake Superior watershed and very close to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. His successful trip-through challenging weather, trail and road conditions-brought to the attention of many Minnesotans the real risks that both Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters face from the proposed copper/nickel sulfide mines. Getting his sled dog team to the Capitol was so much more than that epic eight-day trip. It was in fact the culminating adventure of a much longer journey for Frank and his incredible dog team. The book 'Sled Dogs to Saint Paul' is the story of Frank's discovery of dog sledding, and how the dogs came to be the focus of his life. Beginning with his first dogsled adventures on the lakes and trails near Bemidji, Minnesota, it continues to tell of Frank's rise in world of sled-dog racing and what led to the mission that now drives his kennel. The story is sometimes funny, and at other times quite serious yet always epic in some way. Excerpts from this manuscript were first published in Flyway, Journal of Writing and Environment, in the Winter of 2011/2012.
