Passion for Mountains The Lives of Don And Phyllis Munday

Don and Phyllis Munday are western Canada's most famous mountaineering couple. Active members of the Alpine Club of Canada, they climbed for almost four decades throughout the Pacific Northwest, as well as in the Selkirks and the Rocky Mountains. The Mundays were ahead of their time. They are chiefly renowned for their tenacity and environmental awareness, as well as for their scientific contributions in exploring and documenting the little-known Coast Mountains. Their joint climbs from the 1920s through the 1940s included scaling 150-plus mountains; more than 40 were first ascents. A Passion for Mountainsfeatures a broad selection of the Mundays' photographs and incorporates their own words to describe many of their ascents.Bridge, Kathryn is the author of 'Passion for Mountains The Lives of Don And Phyllis Munday', published 2006 under ISBN 9781894765695 and ISBN 1894765699.
