Did the guidebook not work for you Keith?
How could it be better?

it'd a helped if i had one :) scott ended up having one, but i didn't know until we showed up. But maybe a picture ;)

Biggest problem was someone else said there were new sport routes that were not in the book.

I've heard of a new sport route or two that Therien and Brooks had put up, which I think are closer to the main rail-trail -- a little ways away from "Railway Crag Proper." Punshon has also added a few trad lines on the main crag.

A sketch was debated for that crag when the book was published, but there weren't really enough routes at the time to justify the effort. Maybe I'll work on a pdf update over the winter.

Sorry you had a bad time out there :cry: - it's definitely not the greatest crag, but it does have a few redeeming features!

I think it still has some potential for a few new sport lines.
