Don Forest - Quest for the Summits (Paperback, New)

This biography tells the story of one of the most colourful - some might say eccentric - people of the Canadian West, who also happens to be a climber. Forest didn't take up the sport until he was in his mid-40s. At a time when most men are thinking of retiring from strenuous activities, Don was busy setting records: the first person to climb all the 11,000-foot peaks in the Canadian Rockies and Columbia Mountains and the oldest person to climb Mount Logan, Canada's highest mountain. Apart from Don's climbing achievements, for which he received the Banff Mountain Festival's Summit of Excellence Award in 1990, Don is renowned for his idiosyncrasies, which the author and Don's friends have documented in detail.
