"Forever on the Mountain" by Jim Tabor
One summer in 1967, Alaska's Mt. McKinley was the site not only of death and tragedy, but also of extreme controversy. In July, seven exemplary young men died climbing the North Face. None of their bodies were ever recovered. A failed rescue attempt left them stranded and dying on North America's highest peak. Join author Jim Tabor of Waitsfield, VT in his Power Point presentation based on his new book, "Forever on the Mountain", winner of the Grand Prize at the 2007 Banff Mountain Book & Film Festival and the National Outdoor Book Awards. Books available for purchase and signing.
