Carl D. Crouse learned to love Mt. Baker and mountain climbing through the influence of his father, F. Earl Crouse. This book is Carl's collection of stories, impressions, and photographs from adventures in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Carl was twelve years old when he first climbed Mt. Baker in 1973, but the stories in the book begin earlier when his father Earl climbed Mt. Baker in 1954. Among the 300+ photos in the book are pictures from that first 1954 ascent.The stories will entertain you, including the prayer he was sorry got answered, the thrill of standing on the rim of an active volcano, what it's like to fall into a crevasse, spotting a butterfly on the top of the mountain, and why Carl purposefully let his face get burned by the sun on his first trip. Carl includes many stories he heard his father tell to climbers who asked Earl to guide them to the top. Photographs give an up-close perspective of climbing mountain glaciers.Be inspired by The Heavenly Mountain as you enter the world of mountain climbing through stories and photographs. Beyond mountain climbing, this book is about appreciating life and being amazed by God's handiwork. Read more
