Inner Ranges: An Anthology of Mountain Thoughts and Mountain People

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 Powter 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.

Winner 2019 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Literature, 2019 Banff Mountain Book Festival Climbing Literature Award, and Shortlisted for the 2019 Boardman/Tasker Mountaineering Literature Award.
