Inner Ranges: An Anthology of Mountain Thoughts and Mountain People | Geoff Powter
1 post | 1 read
Inner Ranges brings together an enlightening and entertaining selection of mountain writing by one of Canada's most respected adventure journalists and thinkers. This collection of original and previously published pieces includes provocative editorial and opinion work about the state of adventure, personal tales from a life of exploration and risk-taking, some touches of humour, and award-winning profiles of some of Canada's mountaineering greats. Stories include conversations with and profiles of alpine personalities such as Barry Blanchard, Sonnie Trotter, Lena Rowat, Raphael Slawinski, David Jones and many more. Bringing these essays together for the first time has given Geoff the unique opportunity to reflect back on the stories behind the stories, the consequences of their publication, and the sometimes complex processes of writing about adventure and adventurous lives.

A great read which just happens to also be great mountain literature

I really enjoyed this collection of stories and I would highly recommend "Inner Ranges" by Geoff Powter to any reader who relishes great storytelling . The accounts of the author‘s own adventures climbing in the mountains over almost 50 years are entertaining and thrilling; his profiles of Canadian explorers and virtuoso climbers provide fascinating insights.
