Dave Black's Canyoneering Book
Anyone read it?
http://www.amazon.com/Canyoneering-G...9864707&sr=8-4
Any comments?
Just curious.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Best I can tell this book is not yet available....
COMING SOON: Preorder this item today and it should arrive on or just after 09/30/2007
But I just preordered a copy so I'll let you know when it gets here. Dave is pretty talented and a good teacher so it should be an excellent book. His Ice Climbing guide was well worth the coin.
Hmmmm..... wonder if the book had anything to do with Dave's recent departure from the ACA? Anyone hear anything about the ACA's eventually to be published book?

And from the receipt of my Amazon order.....
Shipping estimate for these items: January 2, 2008
Delivery estimate: January 7, 2008 - January 9, 2008
So much for my big idea of buying you all a copy as a Christmas present.

Oops, never mind. I guess no one has read it yet. Postpone this thread until next January.

Since I received a PM this morning asking "what's the deal....."
Update: This book has yet to ship and the estimated date of release has been removed back... again.... I ordered a copy of this book nearly a year ago and it has yet to ship. The release date keeps getting moved back.
God only knows when this book will be released, and he's not really sure.....

I wonder what the problem is...?
Has the book still yet to be written? :) A year delay seems excessive.

In January of 2008 I was sent a message saying the book would ship Spring of 2008....
Now on the plus side..... Amazon has not billed me yet and tells me they will not bill me until the book is sent. Also.... each time they send me a message saying the book is delayed they also give me an opportunity to cancel my order.
Anyhoo... that's my experience.

It's worth the money.... still not all the in depth info I was hoping for.... but I'm thinking that's going to take a "Freedom of the Canyons" type of book" to do that... The book kind of bounces around... kinda talking to noob and then expert....
But my though is if you pick up one or two tricks it's worth the coin. I learned a few things from the book and I still have not read all of it... I would buy it again, which is really to bottomline... but what do I know... I think $30 a year for a truck load of beta is a bargin.
Some of the book gets old fast to me like talking about different types of rap devices..... but everyone knows I'm a god like expert so that's to be expected.
As I said... I still have not read the complete book, I have learned a few things from what I have read so far...

So, I have a lot of free time on my hands right now and I have decided to catch-up on my reading. Somewhere along the way, I forgot to buy this book. With Bo's assistance, I now have the book. Thanks Bo!
I haven't read it yet - I have a lot of time to do that - but after thumbing through the pages for the last 45 minutes or so, there is a lot of great information in this book!
I hope that I'm the only one that missed this book.
