Does anyone know where to get the Rumney guidebook? I can't seem to find it online except for amazon which is selling it for ridiculous prices. Can I get it up there somewhere or should I just use mountainproject? Anyone got any info?

It's out of print. I had scooped up a few from some local gyms and was able to make some money selling them on ebay but I haven't seen any around lately. I think mountain project is your best bet. If you have specific route questions, I'm friends with some of the route developers and can probably get you some info.

Thanks for the info Joe. Do you know of any stores near the Rumney area that might carry it? I like to collect guidebooks of places I've climbed at.  |

Nowhere around there has one. I tried MP and got no responses. I met a girl in Rumney who has a friend who was going to hopefully sell me their spare but it never came through. Hard book to come by!!!

What jonfrisby said, it's nowhere to be found.
I think Ward is working on a 3rd edition but I'm not 100% on that...

I've heard rumors every time I've been up there in the last year and a half, Joe. I hope you're right. They could definitely use an update even if there were enough copies to go around.
By the way, I actually contacted customer service for several of the shops selling copies for $125~ on Amazon to see if they could actually price it properly. No dice. It looks like they use an algorithm that bases price on other listed prices so there's probably a glitch that made a feedback loop that pushed all the prices to their current ridiculous levels.

Part of that algorithm is that people were buying them for $80 on ebay...
