Hooked on Traprock: Rock Climbing in Central Connecticut

Summary: Hooked on Traprock- Don't Bother
Review: While Nichols has obviously made an exhaustive effort to document all the climbing routes in CT, many of the newer routes mentioned in this book are not worth repeating. The route descriptions and approach directions are accurate, but there are no cliff drawings. In a climbing area like CT where the climbing routes are so densely packed, line drawings would be helpful. Plus he wastes a lot of space descibing the origin of the route names. While interesting, maybe he could have saved the space and included drawings instead. His criticisms and pot shots of people he doesn't like make him seem very bitter.
