{"product_id":"9780385720779","title":"The White Death","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.","brand":"Mckay Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47208526643300,"sku":"9780385720779","price":19.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0502\/0516\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a387cbb0-5b89-47f4-b267-c4d35a795650.jpg?v=1761760813","url":"https:\/\/larkspurbooks.ca\/products\/9780385720779","provider":"Larkspur Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
