Pushing the Limits: The Story of Canadian Mountaineering

Chic Scott

Heritage House Publishing, 2000

Pushing the Limits - a super Canadian mountaineering book
This book is a joy to read and a "must have" as a reference book that tells you all you would like to know and more about the history of mountaineering in Canada. Beautifully published with many pictures of the "greats and near greats" of the Canadian mountaineering scene since it all began in the mid 1800's. Chic Scott has produced a book that has already become a classic in mountain literature.

Ben Gadd, Chic Scott, ...

Rocky Mountain Books, 2003

The "great wall of stone" rising so prominently above the Trans-Canada Highway between Calgary and Banff, is the birthplace of modern rockclimbing in the Canadian Rockies. Since then Yam has been the scene of both triumph and tragedy, events meticulously documented by Scott and Dornian. Gadd gives us the background; the geology and human history and ends with a walk "up the backside", detailing the flora and fauna.

Rocky Mountain Books, 1994

Awesome
This book is awesome. I spent my first winter in the Canadian Rockies, and this book really helped me exploring several summits and icefields. The tour descriptions are truly detailed, I only needed this book and a map and that was it. The only thing missing is the datum of the grid references given for GPS navigation. But that wasn't a major problem. Great book.
