{"product_id":"the-white-death-mckay-jenkins-9780385720779","title":"The White Death: Tragedy and Heroism in an Avalanche Zone","description":"In 1969, five young men from Montana set out to accomplish what no one had before: to scale the sheer north face of Mt. Cleveland, Glacier National Park's tallest mountain, in winter. Two days later tragedy struck: they were buried in an avalanche so deep that their bodies would not be discovered until the following June. \u003cb\u003eThe White Death\u003c\/b\u003e is the riveting account of that fated climb and of the breathtakingly heroic rescue attempt that ensued.\u003cbr\u003eIn the spirit of Peter Matthiessen and John McPhee, McKay Jenkins interweaves a harrowing narrative with an astonishing expanse of relevant knowledge ranging from the history of mountain climbing to the science of snow. Evocative and moving, this fascinating book is a humbling account of man at his most intrepid and nature at its most indomitable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e McKay Jenkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385720777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385720779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.20w x 0.56d","brand":"McKay Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946567926015,"sku":"9780385720779","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f2344c3c-a0ef-4c46-a8ac-e81dbb803f9c.jpg?v=1681513889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-white-death-mckay-jenkins-9780385720779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
