Why read it?
1 author picked The Challenge of Rainier, 40th Anniversary as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m not a climber, but I thoroughly enjoyed this classic book about mountaineering at Mount Rainier National Park. The author covers it all—geology, weather, routes, equipment, accidents, rescues, and guides. As a history geek, I appreciated the detailed descriptions of some of the earliest climbs, including ones before 1900. The book was originally released in 1971, but the newest edition includes updated information.
From Karen's list on national park adventures and misadventures.
