Final Spire, The

Trevor featured on CBC Radio's "On the Coast"

“A chronicle of fascinating history and good old-fashioned chutzpah.” —Vancouver Sun

“Trevor Marc Hughes tells a riveting story about those who sought to conquer Mystery Mountain.” —BC BookWorld

“Trevor Marc Hughes uncovers a decade-long story of discovery and death in attempting to reach the highest summit within British Columbia. Trevor sweeps into the narrative the main characters from the early years of exploration who have gone before in one of Canada’s most remote and glaciated areas.” —Paul Geddes, life member, The Alpine Club of Canada

“This is a valuable book about the explorations of Mount Waddington, the early attempts to climb the great peak and the final successful ascent. 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
