Mount Painier is the largest and most dangerous volcano in the country, both an awesome natural monument and a formidable presence of peril. In "The Measure of a Mountain, /ibarcott sets out to grasp the spirit of Rainier through a journey along its masive flanks. From forest to precipice, thinning air to psychology and meaning of all mountains, and the deep connection that exists between humans and landscape. Filled with adventure, poignant personal reflections, and fascinating mountain lore told by Indian chiefs, professional guides, priests, and scientists, this book is one man's stirring quest to reoncile with a dazzling creation of nature, at once alluring and sometimes deadly.
