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. Approach notes, pitch lengths, and occasional gear hints make it useful for planning or quick reference at the crag. Limitations: minimal narrative or local history, little beginner-oriented or step-by-step instruction, and photo/topo clarity varies so cross-checking on-site can be necessary. Best used as a practical on-site reference rather than light reading or a teaching primer.”
