Praise for Trevor's previous book "Capturing the Summit" "With the help of both Laing's and Lambart's diaries, Hughes delivers two adventure stories for the price of one." -- Vancouver Sun "From his extensive research, Hughes weaves the tale of two concurrent, never repeated events into one story for the reader." -- Paul Geddes, Canadian Alpine Journal Hughes "writes with a strong sense of the epic that at times leaves one holding one's breath with anticipation or fear, at times wanting to clap and cheer for the participants out loud, and at times smiling or even chuckling at an event that feels well-deserved, or shows the resourceful strategies used to circumvent a potential downfall or to amuse the person or persons involved." -- Miramichi Reader "Trevor Marc Hughes tracks the connection of Laing's story with natural history and photography amid changes in ornithology and conservation in early-twentieth-century Canada." -- BC Studies "Trevor Marc Hughes uncovers a decade-long story of discovery and death in attempting to reach the highest summit within British Columbia." -- Paul Geddes, Life Member, The Alpine Club of Canada "By telling these largely forgotten stories, Trevor Hughes has made an excellent contribution to the growing library of books about Canadian mountaineering." -- Chic Scott, Mountaineer and Historian "Trevor Marc Hughes deftly weaves accounts of very individualistic expeditions and their members who ventured into challenging landscapes, way-finding on their own, relying on weather, their own physical prowess, and sometimes just plain luck." -- Kathryn Bridge, PhD, curator emerita, History and Art, Royal British Columbia Museum "A chronicle of fascinating history and good old-fashioned chutzpah.

" -- Dana Gee, Arts Reporter, Vancouver Sun "Trevor Marc Hughes tells a riveting story about those who sought to conquer Mystery Mountain." -- BC BookWorld "Trevor Hughes' research is a good and useful contribution to the mountaineering literature of the Waddington Range. This is a well-written and readable account that should be of interest to mountaineers and the broader public." -- Glenn Woodsworth, The British Columbia Review.
