Reviews
  • Known simply as Beckey's bible, no list of Northwest outdoor books would be complete without Beckey's monumental guide to climb in Washington's Cascades. What's extraordinary is that most of the information was gleaned firsthand.
    — Washington Trails
  • [Beckey's] encyclopedic, three-volume guidebook, Cascade Alpine Guide, is mandatory reading for anyone aspiring to [these] summits.

  • A comprehensive guide to a huge swath of rugged country…Beckey offers thumbnail descriptions of peak, after peak, after peak. With masterful economy, he spells out what a competent person needs to know.

  • These books are mind-boggling in their thoroughness and remarkable in their historical. geological, and geographical detail. Called by some the climber's bible, they are a must for any avid peak-bagger in the state.
