Book Synopsis

There's something for everyone here: popular routes on Mounts Rainier, Adams, Baker, and Shuksan, and lesser-known climbs such as Dragontail Peak and Early Morning Spire. Even better, this completely updated second edition incorporates the viewpoints of many active Cascades climbers -- making it truly a book for the climbing community.
