Climber Blake Herrington has scaled more than 100 peaks around the world, from Patagonia to all the gorges around Chulilla, Spain.

These days, the Western Washington University alumnus is back in his home state, where he learned to climb 10 years ago. He’s written a guidebook, “Cascades Rock: The 160 Best Multipitch Climbs of All Grades” ($39 including shipping), covering everything from roadside climbs to alpine adventures around Washington and Southern British Columbia.
