Description
In Crisis on Mount Hood, author and emergency room doctor Christopher Van Tilburg looks at the history of America’s oldest all-volunteer mountain rescue team, the Hood River Crag Rats, and his own three-decade commitment to search and rescue. Centered on Oregon’s iconic 11,249-foot-high Mount Hood, considered by many to be the world’s most-climbed glaciated peak, this dramatic narrative leads readers through a century of life-and-death challenges.

Covering the past, present, and future of Mount Hood, Van Tilburg highlights the titans of mountain rescue, the ways that outdoor recreation has changed over time, the challenging effects of climate change, and, most of all, the unwavering passion of search and rescue volunteers.
