Fifty Classic Climbs of North America is a 1979 climbing guidebook and history written by Steve Roper and Allen Steck.[1] It is considered a classic piece of climbing literature, known to many climbers as simply "The Book",[2] and has served as an inspiration for more recent climbing books, such as Mark Kroese's Fifty Favorite Climbs.[3] Though much of the book's contents are now out of date, it is still recognized as a definitive text which goes beyond the traditional guidebook.
