About the author
Louie Anderson was one of the first to explore the Frustration Creek area and established many new routes and boulder problems. It took some time to publish this book because things just wouldn’t settle down in the area. Natural events such as flash floods and landslides were constantly changing the canyon. New routes just kept going up. In his words, “at long last, the secrets of the lower San Bernardino Mountain climbing areas are revealed” in this complete, accurate guidebook.
He now lives in Ten Sleep, Wyoming and runs the Ten Sleep Canyon Rock Ranch. Check out his guide to the climbing at !
