Description
From Trevor Marc Hughes, the author of Capturing the Summit: Hamilton Mack Laing and the Mount Logan Expedition of 1925, comes another true story of adventure.
In 1934, four mountaineers from Manitoba piled into their Plymouth and pointed its headlights west to Tatlayoko Lake in British Columbia. The race was on to climb the tallest peak within British Columbia, and a pilgrimage to the Coast Mountains had begun. ‘Mystery Mountain,’ newly called Mount Waddington, still had yet to be climbed. The mountain’s central spire was a nightmarish image for any climber; a sheer column of barren rock encased in ice.
