-Siri Moss, Alaska Rock Gym Cofounder

From The SCAR's Introduction:
In the climbing world, Southcentral Alaska is best known for Denali (Mt McKinley) and other world class mountaineering, but a recent explosion in the popularity of rock climbing has drastically increased the number of easily accessible, quality routes near Anchorage. The SCAR catalogs these climbs - both good and bad - for climbers to test their wits.

With this guide, visitors and new climbers should be able to easily locate climbing areas and routes while many long time Alaskan climbers will be surprised by the number of new routes available - three times that of the old guidebook. Four geographical sections are included: Seward Highway, Portage, Western Chugach, and parts of the Matanuska Valley. Incredible, expansive, Alaskan beauty is your back drop while precipitous cliffs challenge your body and soul.
