Fairbanks Resources Despite the plethora of huge frozen monsters for serious mountaineering, Alaskan rock is old and usually not good for rock climbing even in the summer. Three of the most accessible areas with rock of decent qualty are covered in the "Fairbanks Area Climbing Guide" by Stan Justice. He also publishes "Mount Prindle Area Climbing Guide" for those who don't mind a four hour hike to that remote spot abundant with excellent routes. Both guides are available in hardcopy at All Weather Sports and at Beaver Sports, or can be purchased from Stan directly by mailing a check for $6 ($4 for AAC members) to: Stan R. Justice Note, that all profits from the sale of those guides go to AAC's treasury for future financing of projects such as hut construction and indoor climbing wall improvements. Hiking Wilderness areas open to hikers are managed either by the State Department of Natural Resources or by the Federal Bureau of Land Management. Their buildings are located right next to each other at the corner of University Avenue and Airport Road. Both places have free brochures describing various trails and areas that they maintain.State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources Interior Department of Bureau of Land Management Regular USGS quads for the whole state can be purchased at the Geophysical Institute Map Office located in room 208 in Elvey building on main UAF campus.
