Excerpt: ...the northern bank; but, as he found nothing but dense thickets and swamps, he soon returned. The weather was now very hot and sultry, and that evening swarms of the most voracious mosquitoes we ever encountered drove us nearly crazy. The men said they had occasionally seen them more numerous on the prairie, but that never in their lives had they known them anything like so vicious or venomous. They lost no time in buzzing or fooling around, but went straight to business with their beaks until our hands and faces were one mass of bites. Nets, lotions, and " smudges" were of no avail; all we could do was to sit still and grin and bear it as well as we could. The night was a night of unending torment, for at this lower elevation (about 2500 feet) the insects do not go to sleep after sundown, as in the higher regions of the eastern Rockies. Spencer, wise in his generation, had brought a piece of netting and bade defiance to the mosquitoes, his snores blending harmoniously with their ceaseless buzzing; but for his two tent-fellows it was a case of: Mali culices 1-anaeque palustres Avertunt somnos: as Horace said on his journey with Maecenas to Brundisium. The mosquitoes of Italy, however, are but poor things compared with those of British Columbia, and the sentiments evoked by the latter are the reverse of poetical. Next morning we fled, the mosquito scourge being unanimously voted past endurance, while we saw no chance of making our way along the river bank. The horses were hurriedly packed amid much kicking and bucking, scratching of bites, and strong language directed at the flies, the climate, woods, rivers, and other geographical features of British Columbia. Retracing our steps for about six miles along the trail, we pitched...

Download or read book The Glittering Mountains of Canada written by James Monroe Thorington and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2012 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This then is a book of mountaineering, not presenting the Canadian Rockies in their entirety -- no single volume will ever do that -- but including many of the finest things. It is also a book of mountain travel, under conditions such as perhaps the European traveller experienced in the Alps during the Eighteenth Century. Finally, it is a book of mountain history; for here is Geography in the making, and with a tradition behind it -- a story that has never been properly gathered together, and whose details, in part at least, are gone forever." -- from the Preface by J. Monroe Thorington Completely re-edited, re-designed and containing with an impressive collection of archival photos and maps, The Glittering Mountains of Canada is a must-read for anyone interested in mountain literature. The book's position in the pantheon of outdoor writing as a "classic" is only further enhanced and supported by the passionate Foreword by well-known mountain historian and environmental writer Robert William Sandford, who urges the contemporary reader to embrace Thorington's belief in the importance of landscape and the poetry of place. This is a book that deserves to be read and appreciated alongside the work of Wallace Stegner, Henry David Thoreau and Sid Marty.

Book excerpt: Recipient of the Banff Mountain Book Festival's Canadian Rockies Award A book to be read and digested, then sampled, then read and dipped into often...a fine achievement for this dedicated author... Bruce Fairley, Canadian Alpine Journal HOLY SHIT WAAAAAAAAAT A FABBBBBULOUS TOME. Tami Knight, Illustrator/Mountaineer This important new book tells the story of Canada's 200-year mountaineering history. Through the use of stories and pictures, Chic Scott documents the evolution of climbing in Canada. He introduces us to the early mountain pioneers and the modern day climbing athletes; he takes us to the crags and the gyms, from the west coast to Quebec, and from the Yukon to the Rockies. But most importantly, Scott showcases Canadian climbers--the routes that challenged them, the peaks that inspired them, their insatiable desire to climber harder, to push the limits. Begin the trek through Canada's climbing history... Learn about Swiss guides hired by CPR hotels who ushered in the glory years of first ascents. Continue through to the turn of the twentieth century when British and American climbers of leisure found themselves hampered by the difficulties of travel through the Canadian wilderness. Learn about the European immigrants of the 1950s who pushed the limits on the rock walls, and the American superstars who led the search for frightening new routes on the big north faces. Be there when British expatriates pioneer an exciting new trend in world mountaineering--waterfall ice climbing. Witness the popular growth of sport climbing, both on the crags and in the gyms. Finally, enjoy the story of home-grown climbers. Initially slow to take up the challenge, both at home and overseas, they are now leaders in the climbing world.
