Yamnuska is recognised as the great wall of stone rising so prominently above the Trans-Canada Highway between Calgary and Banff and is accepted as the birthplace of modern rock climbing in the Canadian Rockies. It was here, over 50 years ago in 1952, that Hans Gmoser first took up the challenge. Since then, Yamnuska has been the scene of both triumphs and tragedies, which Scott and Dornian meticulously document in this book. In addition, Gadd gives us the geology and human history of the mountain, ending with a descriptive walk up the back trails, which details the flora and fauna.
