"Summit Routes outlines clear, individual game plans for bagging the state's tallest peaks via their least-demanding routes."

The Daily, the University of Washington's student newspaper, has a great article on the guide. You can read it here.

"This is the book I was looking for when I was climbing Washington's 100 highest! I was always trying to minimize my efforts while maximizing my rewards. Stephenson and Bongiovanni's work in their book, Summit Routes, allows climbers to minimize their research while maximizing their outdoor experience. Peaks strategically categorized into groups (called slams) will keep peak junkies coming back for more and more."
      Don Beavon -- Everest Summitter and 22^nd person to climb the 100 highest

"Finally a 'hundred climbs' book has arrived to join the 'hundred hikes' series; in case you're wondering where to go next weekend, this book will give you plenty of ideas for getting to great viewpoints."

University Week, the University of Washington's weekly newspaper, recently published a wonderful article on the guide. You can read it here.

"Stephenson and Bongiovanni have researched and assembled a brilliantly detailed, comprehensive, and easy to use guide to Washington's highest peaks. Summit Routes is a must read for hikers, scramblers, and climbers interested in exploring this magnificent mountain region, one of the most unspoiled wildernesses in the country."
      Al Read -- President, Exum Mountain Guides

"Stephenson's and Bongiovanni's guide to the 100 highest peaks in Washington makes for a convenient collection of route descriptions in a single volume. There are routes here for mountaineers of all abilities. Some are well-known favorites, but many encourage activity in less traveled corners of the Cascades. Summit Routes is an appealing addition to any Northwest climber's bookshelf."
