- The Southern Californian climbing community is long overdue for a comprehensive guide book to Black Mountain. A Black Mountain Bouldering guide is on the way! Ian McIntosh and Alan Moore, working with Wolverine Publishing, are drawing topos, brushing holds, and tracking down the oldschool so that we can write it all down. It is our aim to create a navigational resource that will make the vastness of Black Mountain more accessible to that community. This project is much larger than any individual. In compiling the community’s collective knowledge of the area; we will all have a larger climbing resource and potentially be a stronger more organized user group. We are striving for historical accuracy, however, given the regions long and at times ambiguous history we need all the help we can get from those who have knowledge of the climbing from decades past. Please join in our efforts to provide the best guidebook possible! blackmountainblog@gmail.com.
Hi, I just found your blog. I was wondering how long before you guys release a guide on black mountain? Any ETA on development? Also, is there any other guides out there worth checking out for black mountain in general, or boulder basin specifically?

The guide will be sent off to Wolverine at the end of this season. Until then, word of mouth is the best bet for getting around the mountain, however, Socal Bouldering and the Dr Topo will land you at a few classics.
