Bruce Williams recommends Fisher Peak Chronicles as "a very enjoyable read."

 

Retired Cranbrook teacher Bruce Williams (right) celebrates his 50th ascent of Mount Fisher in August 2013 and he made the climb on the 72nd birthday. Accompanying Bruce were his local "sherpas" Fred Clark (middle) and Gary Billmark (left). Champagne was served in celebration afterward the successful climb.
"I've just finished reading Keith Powell's latest book, Fisher Peak Chronicles -- real stories from a tall mountain — the legacy of Mount Fisher. I highly recommend this interesting and entertaining read.

Everyone talks about Fisher Peak, whether it's about the majestic appearance or the snowline or the opportunity to be at the top of Fisher Peak one day — as author Keith Powell stated — "it is our own little Mt. Everest, and scaling it has become a rite-of-passage for many outdoor enthusiasts."

The book also features stories by Dan Mills, Janice Strong and Patrick Morrow plus many contributions from climbing legends such as Denny Kerr.  The photos are high quality as well!

There is so much to learn about the history of Fisher Peak and Keith Powell has done a masterful job of weaving the numerous stories into a very enjoyable read."
