[pct-l] PCT ATLAS, GUIDEBOOKS, YOGI'S BOOK, and DATA BOOK...

[Sly]

Yes, that's one problem I have with the databook, and to a certain 
extent the guidebooks, (although they'll sometimes described a 
climb/decent).  I guess, I used to Jim Wolf's CDT guidebooks, that note 
any change of 50' or more.  Since the databook is compiled from the data 
in the guidebook, it's not all that necessary, just a lot more convenient.

Also, although frustrating at times, I'm reluctant to call any book a 
"book of lies" .

YMMV,

Sly
