Abstract: Known affectionately to his friends as the King of the Coast Range, John Baldwin has spent his life in a quest to experience the west coast wilderness. Since his teenage years he has explored the rugged Coast Mountain Range, climbing 700 peaks, many of them first ascents, and making perhaps one hundred multi-week, long-distance forays across the icefields and along the ridges of what is one of the last true wilderness areas on earth. Shunning the easy path, John has forged his own way through some of the toughest geography on the planet. He is a mountaineer and explorer of the first order (from Alpine Club of Canada)

Contents: Introduction; Chapter One - an idyllic childhood; Chapter Two - the Varsity Outdoor Club; Chapter Three - a world of snow and ice; Chapter Four - adventures with John Clark; Chapter Five - the mountains of the coast; Chapter Six - soul of wilderness; Chapter Seven - a life dedicated to mountains
