I based this project on my ongoing frustration with the design of outdoor rock climbing guides. Yes, they all have their quirks, which one can’t help but love, but I decided to imagine a reality where the Ontario bouldering guidebooks were redesigned in a consistent and minimal fashion.

I used my own photos of rock formations at these Ontario crags (Halfway Logdump, Niagara Glen, The Nooks), tracing the darkest parts of the rocks, and filling the organic shapes in with the hundreds of names of climbs from each crag. This resulted in a consistent look for each publication, with its own uniqueness shining through with shape and naming conventions.
