Description

Derek Wolfe is author of the Moab and North wash canyoneering guidebooks. He has also written some climbing guides. http://www.xanadumountainpress.com More about Derek. Derek Wolfe spends as much time as possible enjoying the adventure lifestyle available in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Sierra of California, volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest, the high desert wilderness of Utah, and Mojave Desert of Nevada. An enthusiastic (some might argue obsessive) mountaineer and rock climber, he has climbed all 637 mountains higher than 13,000’ in Colorado, climbed all of the Colorado 14ers in the winter and summited over 2,000 peaks across the US. Furthermore, he also thoroughly enjoys remote, adventurous desert tower rock climbs – over 100 towers summited – along with descending technical slot canyons. Additionally, he participates in cave exploration and mapping in the region’s caves as well as those in Tennessee, New Mexico, and South Dakota.

Channeling one of his muses, Edward Abbey, he has produced this guide to educate and enlighten those fellow adventure seekers who venture into the magnificent realm of high peaks and deserts. His goal is to encourage those who use this guidebook to learn and practice proper minimalist impact techniques so that these magnificent lands can be enjoyed by future generations.
