Description
An adventure story and guidebook in one, this is the tale of Jack Bennett's extraordinary effort to become the first person to climb all the high points of Canada's provinces and territories. From a fire tower in New Brunswick to a remote mountain in Nunavut, this is a story of hardship, triumph and sheer singlemindedness. Bennett provides accurate and up-to-date information for anyone wishing to follow in his footsteps.
Exciting reading for novice and experienced climbers alike. —Jack Longacre, Highpointers Club newsletter.
About the author
Jack Bennett is a member of the American Alpine Club and the Highpointers Club. He began climbing the 50 US highpoints in 1973, completing them with an ascent of Mount McKinley in 1990. For him mountains are much more than a challenge. They are mystical places of profound beauty where all the elements of a major climb—beauty, challenge, hardship, isolation, even suffering—combine to create a spiritual experience.
