Book description
In 1924 Phyllis (Phyl) Munday did what no other woman had done before
- reached the summit of Mt. Robson. She climbed close to 100 mountains
in her lifetime, many of those first ascents. She honed her outdoor
skills as a Girl Guide leader and remained active in Guides throughout
her life. During the 1920s and 1930s, Phyl and her partner Don Munday
pioneered exploration into the heart of the Coast Mountains.
Kathryn Bridge, a Victoria-based archivist and historian, knows
how to tell a good story. Her award-winning biographies about
pioneering personalities rely on original diaries, letters, journals
and historical photos to bring her subjects life. Her interest in the
mountains began while she was playing in the alpine meadows of Mount
Revelstoke as a youngster. Kathryn lives in Victoria, B. C.
