For followers of Cheryl Strayed, a journey weaving historical past, memoir and journey to find what it means to be fearless.
What’s it wish to be an intrepid explorer . . . and a girl?
Expedition to Thriller Mountain is a come-along journey of a city-dwelling lady who, with 5 fellow climbers, re-enacts the 1926 exploits of fearless trailblazers and pioneering Canadian mountaineers Don and Phyllis Munday.
The group’s formidable mission: to recreate the Mundays’ path to Mount Waddington, the very best peak of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, outfitted with classic hobnail boots, fifty-pound wood-frame packs, and solely vintage ice axes for security. Is the one lady within the crew ready to endure the hordes of mosquitoes, the grizzly bears, the thickets of satan’s membership, and the opposite risks on the Checklist of Doom?
The way in which ahead is unsure. Concern is just not. Her mantra: “Simply maintain going.”
Removed from civilization the gear and the group begin falling aside, and the destiny of the expedition hangs within the steadiness. At each flip, one other stumbling block—but her greatest impediment will not be the impenetrable bush, the punishing weight of the pack body, or her aching muscle tissues. What’s holding her again?
To push on, she’ll want to seek out inspiration in Phyllis Munday, a badass lady of braveness, good humour, and old school grit. She’ll have to come back to phrases along with her concern of not being adequate—even when the trail forward is simply extra arduous. She’ll be sturdy if she will be able to stay centred, second by second, and take one more step. She’ll be unstoppable if she will be able to belief herself within the face of uncertainty and unleash her inside wild lady.
This distinctive, off-the-beaten-path journey will enthrall the armchair traveller or seasoned hiker who enjoys studying about braveness, resilience, and insurgent girls who dare to dwell by their very own guidelines.
Superbly designed and illustrated with images from the Mundays’ unique voyage and its trendy re-enactment, Expedition to Thriller Mountain is a visible feast that may take you again in time.
