Wild West China Routebook (2015)
by: Ryder Stroud
China's western mountainous regions are home not just to high peaks for the mountaineer but with rock walls of all types waiting to see climbers on their flanks. The Wild West book is a compilation of various areas in which the Wild West China team (Mike Dobie, Ana Pautler, Ryder Stroud, Raúl Saúco, and Dan Jerke) established new routes. Though it is just a single summer's sampling of the wealth of climbing China has to offer, it is one of the few resources that exist on this topic with this much depth, featuring rich photos, topos, and descriptions on getting to these new locations.
Daocheng Bouldering (2014)
by: Michael Dobie
While the book is entitled Daocheng Bouldering, this guidebook encompasses a much broader number of areas and routes in western Sichuan. Daocheng Bouldering also contains key beta for destinations like Zhajinjiabo, China's granite alpine playground, Haizi Shan Preserve, and the high peaks of the Litang-Batang area.
Keketuohai Routebook (2015)
by: Ola Przybysz
The authoritative guidebook on China's granite multipitch paradise, Keketuohai. With cragging, multipitch up to 10 pitches, and endless development opportunity, Keketuohai will be a center for high-quality trad in China and internationally. With routes including those established all the way to the end of 2014, the new 2015 edition is a great showcase for Keketuohai as a destination for climbing and new development. Some new routes from 2015 are included in the Wild West China Route guide.
