Rainier \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Being a climbing ranger on Mount Rainier proved to be a life-altering experience for Bree Loewen. As one of only a handful of women on staff, Bree fought to prove herself among men in the field, while confronting the often unrealistic expectations of the public on a mountain that shows little mercy. With honesty, self-deprecation, and wry humor, she reflects on her experiences on Rainier: assisting injured climbers, rescuing lost children, battling inscrutable bureaucracy, lugging heavy equipment, and trying to make sense of it all. Whether it's her account of a solo climb in dicey conditions or trying to protect her good jacket while cleaning the outhouses at Camp Muir, Loewen's writing is engagingly human and humane.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mountaineers Books, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171018490096,"sku":"9781594853814","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594853814_p0.jpg?v=1763809738","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594853814","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
