A classic history about an iconic mountain by one of the nation s great mountaineersOriginally published in 1971, THE CHALLENGE OF RAINIER is a classic in mountaineering reference and literature, long considered the definitive work on the climbing history of Mount Rainier. As a chronicler of significant events in the mountain's climbing history, author Dee Molenaar covers geology, glaciology, and climate; early climbs dating before 1900; the pioneering efforts on over 35 routes, in winter and summer; notable summit climbs; mountain tragedies on the steep slopes; and the guides who have led summit-seekers over the years. For the 40th anniversary edition new information includes recent ascents, rescues, mountain guides, and climbing trends; updated statistics through 2010; and a new foreword by famed climber (and former Rainier guide) Ed Viesturs.Fascinating reading for the increasing numbers who respond to the challenge of Rainier, this book is also enjoyable for anyone who sees the mountain as one of nature's last testing grounds for man's physical enterprise and endurance.
