Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Eleven Miles to Freedom by Ben Schmitt.
“Concise, route-focused guide to Elevenmile Canyon with topos, photos, and short descriptions for established sport and trad lines.

Best used as a practical on-site reference rather than light reading or a teaching primer.”
