    At Last I Understand!!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010*

While I've been a climber for too many years, the hard stuff that I've been grabbing has always been something of a mystery to me.  It's all (well, almost all) fun to climb but why does the rock vary so from location to location?  What makes the rock at some crags so solid, so reassuring?  Or, conversely, why those annoying down sloping holds at others?  I climb quite a bit at Looking Glass in North Carolina.  What's the deal with those "eye brows" that pepper the route?  I also climb every summer in the Tetons.  How could those awesome peaks just suddenly pop up from the plains of Wyoming?  What forces were at work there to create such a breath taking vista for the tourists and (in my opinion) American's best playground for climbers?So many questions!  And now I have the answers, thanks to Miss Garlick.  Flakes, Jugs, and Splitters is an outstanding 101 course in rocks for climbers.  It won't make a geologist out of you, but you will come away with an appreciation for just how much work was done over the geological time frame to keep climbers happy.  I found the organization extremely useful.  Basic overviews up front, regional descriptions following.  The overviews were clear enough for me to grasp the concepts and the regional chapters were specific enough that I could focus on the climbing venues relevant to my interests and skip the sections that reference climbing opportunities beyond the scope of my travel budget.I recommend this book to anyone that climbs and had the imagination to wonder where all this rock came from.David

    Scientifically accurate and highly entertaining, great pics too
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2012*

I have owned this book for a few years now and decided to throw it in my bag on an extended cross country trip. Sarah has managed to create a guidebook that is not only geologically comprehensive, but also very engaging to non-climbers.  I studied geology in university, and from that perspective, the amount of research that she has put in is really impressive.  I am not aware of another resource, save scientific publications filled with technical jargon, that cover the country's climbing geology in this comprehensive of a manner.We have a family friend who has borrowed this book to augment lesson plans to homeschool their kid who also happens to be really into rock climbing. The content is engaging and the writing is backed up by tons of citations and references to the scientific literature. I don't think the author realizes how useful her content is to an entirely different audience when used in this manner.From a climbing perspective, Sarah has hit another home run, or at least a double, as she has managed to leverage her climbing industry connections to get top-level climbing photographers to contribute to this resource.This book is an absolute must-have for climbers who also happen to be geologists, and at the current price it is a steal.

    pretty much a climbers holiday guide
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018*

I love rocks and i love climbing so this book was right up my street. It covered a vast array of climbing areas in the states and touches on some in other countries also. It is set up like a series of questions about each place and explains the geology behind it. my only criticism is that it is very US heavy but then its an American book..  Id really recommend it if, like me, you wonder how the rock you are climbing came to be and or/want a guide on where to climb in the Usa.
