Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "inneficiently structured"
Let's say you know you are going to be in a certain area of Colorado and want to see what fourteeners are close. With the way this book is set up you have to
1. Go to the Colorado map and find a potential mountain, say #21.
2. Go to the peak index and find that #21 = mt. yale.
3. Go to the index in the back to find that mt. yale is on page 122.
4. Go to page 122 to see if you want to do mt. yale.
To make a decission on which one you want to do you have to go through this process for each potential mountain.
It seems the only possible explanation for why the book is set up this way is because they thought it was more important for people to be able to quickly identify a mountains' rank by height than to quickly learn more relavent things like location, difficulty, different routes... But who really cares? How important is it to immediately know that mt. yale is the 21st largest peak in CO and, say, mt. shavano is the 17th? There's only a 30 foot difference between the two.
Anyway, I still gave it 4 stars so obviously I liked the information contained in the book it just blows my mind that an author who specializes in the subject would be so clueless as to how people would use the book.

Summary: "The best for the dry season"
In addition to an array of routes to chose from, Roach's guide also has the best descriptions on route and potential hazards on routes.Roach's guide is stellar for those interested in climbing in the summer and early fall seasons, when snow isn't an issue.
Unlike Dawson there are few (if any) references to ski-mountaineering, and a limited number of snow routes. For this reason, Roach's guide isn't the greatest for those interested in snow-climbing and ski descents. If snow-climbing and ski-descents are your fancy pick up a copy of Dawson's Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners, Vol. 1: The Northern Peaks or Dawson's Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners, Volume 2, the Southern Peaks

Summary: "Great guide to the Colorado 14ers"
This is a great reference to Colorado's 14,000+ foot peaks. The natural grouping of the peaks, the description of all trail heads in each area, and providing numerous routes up each peak are some of the outstanding features. Another is the quality of the maps - in fact they are so good, I wish the author would offer a set of the maps enlarged as a supplemental product. The maps not only clearly depict the routes described with full topographic detail, they are also color coded to show which sections of which routes have specific difficulties (climbing classes).
I had only two issues with this book - the first is that it apparently underestimates difficulty of getting to trail heads with normal cars. The second was that it does not include an overall map of the state showing where the 14ers are located - this is handy if you're in one area and wondering which are closest. Fortunately, both these can be overcome by checking the Internet.
In summary, if one plans to summit more than one Colorado 14er, this book is indispensable.
