Book Synopsis
Biography of one of the most colorful, some might say eccentric, people the Canadian West has thrown out who also happens to be a climber. At a time when most men are thinking of retirement 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 hilarious detail.
