Author Description

From the front flap: "George B. Bayley... achieved the top of Mount Rainier in 1883 and again in 1892. Earlier he had reached the tops of Yosemite peaks that had never been scaled, some of them with John Muir.... Mountain Climber is the story of this remarkable man--his life, his climbs, his business careers, and his ironic death. Almost a third of the book is in Bayley's own words."
