Does anyone have this book? A few people have referenced using it over the years on HAZ, but it appears to be out of print and I am having no luck finding it. I am interested in some beta on a summit in there, if you happen to have this book and you don't mind taking a picture of a couple of pages, could you please shoot me a PM? Thank you.

Grand Canyon summits select: An obscure compilation of sixty-nine remote ascent routes in the Grand Canyon National Park backcountry

If you find two, I'll take the second one. I've also had luck looking for stuff on eBay as well. Found a few old, out of print Arizona hiking and peak bagging books for sale under $5 a piece because a bookstore in Maine was trying to unload them.

But you might want to look on the Grand Canyon Hikers group on Facebook. I'm almost positive the author is a regular over there. He posts a lot of old GC pics of him and his family making some of the ascents back in the 70's & 80's.

Just looked it up, it appears that Wayne is the guy on the GC Hikers & Backpackers page. But assuming Aaron is related somehow.

@SpiderLegs
I might have a couple of leads, thanks!

@SpiderLegs
Yep, Aaron is Wayne's son. Wayne's book Grand Canyon Hiking Adventures is one of my favorites - I found many neat spots with that book!

It’s in the Stanford Library (Stanford has pretty much every book ever published!)

You should be able to get it through an inter-library loan. At least for as long as their check out period.

Another great option. This was the only way I could find "Grand Obsession" without having to pay $70 for a used copy.

There is a copy in the NAU Cline Library. It's on the way there....

lee, there's one at burton barr in phoenix
in the arizona room
library use only

@SpiderLegs
Bookman's in Flag has Grand Obsession frequently, for a normal used book price.

@SpiderLegs
I'm surprised that has never been republished at least as an ebook-- it's an essential title. I believe Puma Press is actually Michael Ghiglieri-- I wonder what the story is.

Especially when you can find 100 copies of his other book at the GC gift shop.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I have somewhere to start now, never thought to check a library

I know, who would think the place you can get free DVDs would have books?
