Bernadette McDonald, a friend of the PNW Chapter, is the 2024 National Outdoor Book Award Winner for Alpine Rising.
“Adventure literature often focuses on the exploits of western climbers, but Bernadette McDonald rightly turns her attention locally, to teh unsung heroes of mountaineering. Based on interviews and solid research, McDonald ably tells their side of the story, covering key personages and notable ascents from the early 1900s to the present.””
