Expedition to Mystery Mountain: Adventures of a Bushwhacking, Knickerbocker-wearing Woman

Expedition to Mystery Mountain: Adventures of a Bushwhacking, Knickerbocker-wearing Woman

Author(s): Susanna Oreskovic

Location(s): British Columbia

Genre(s): Adventure

Era(s): 1926, 2018

A come-along adventure of a city-dwelling climber who discovers what it is like to be an intrepid explorer and a woman. She and her team are on a mission to climb the highest mountain entirely within B.C. in the same way as the original team in 1926. Outfitted with vintage hobnail boots, fifty-pound wood-frame packs, and only antique ice axes for safety, the one woman on the team feels the larger-than-life legacy left by Phyllis. She wonders if she can be as fearless and as tough as Phyllis in the unrelenting wilderness.
