This is the kind of design I've gone for. Russian style and distressed fonts are cool. Pink and blue are cool. Times for the text for a semblance of respectability. Some areas have photo topos, where I've gone for beefy black dashes with white shadow. Other areas have maps where the crag outcrops are a fetching pink chevron. I think it looks quite cool, all in all.
Guidebooking is different from climbing. There are lines I've climbed for this guide that I wouldn't normally climb. We (myself and Tom) didn't want to have any "projects" listed, particularly for things that looked V0 and no one had tried. So... imagine my shaking self – alone in the woods – perched on crumbling crimps over a precipice, a bank of lichen above and the salvation of a tree trunk guarded by a spiked twig palisade.
I survived. And I'm a glad to. I've got some really good problems in the guide and the remaining projects are real.
I shall return to climb them.
