Mike_Gauthier Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 FYI... Sasquatch Books, Backpacker Magazine and REI present a very special slide show event with: John Harlin, author of Mount Rainier, Adventures and Views and Northwest editor of Backpacker Magazine, James Martin, photographer of Mount Rainier, Adventures and Views and Mike Gauthier, author of Mount Rainier, A Climbing Guide and lead climbing and mountain rescue ranger at Mount Rainier National Park. "If you wish to understand what a great mountain means to mankind, read this book. Through the fluid prose of John Harlin and the majestic photography of James Martin, Mount Rainier is richly and personally revealed. They have captured the fundamental dichotomy of a famous peak: the flesh of the mountain may be composed of glacier and rock, but its heart is found inside the men and women who love it, respect it, and have been tested by it." —Mark Jenkins, columnist for Outside and author of To Timbuktu and Off The Map On Thursday, October 18th at the Seattle REI at 7:00PM, Backpacker Magazine's editor John Harlin and photographer James Martin will give a slide show presentation from their new book, Mount Rainier, Adventures and Views. They will be joined by Mount Rainier National Park's lead climbing and mountain rescue ranger Mike Gauthier to discuss his numerous experiences up, down, and the entire way around one of North America's most spectacular volcanoes, Mount Rainier-—or as Northwest residents simply call it, "The Mountain." Mount Rainier Adventures and Views is a stunning new book which puts readers up close and personal with the Northwest’s most powerful icon-—Mount Rainier—magnet to more than 2million visitors a year. James Martin captures the awesome beauty of this majestic peak, from its icy glaciers to its lush alpine meadows, while climber and writer John Harlin provides engrossing accounts of adventure on the mountain. From hiking the popular Wonderland Trail, to summiting the mountain in all kinds of conditions, Harlin shares his own adventures as well as those of the climbing rangers who face daily risks and challenges to ensure safety on the mountain.
