RMB is more than stoked to announce we have not one, but TWO winners in the 2018 Banff Mountain Book Competition!
Mountaineering History Award
Honouring High Places: The Mountain Life of Junko Tabei
by Helen Y. Rolfe, Junko Tabei “The story of a young woman who begins climbing in Japanese Mountain Club culture in the 1960’s is a tale worth reading in itself. From this complex and often tragic social beginning Junko Tabei goes on to a rich life that manages to include family, teaching and climbing all over the world well into her late 70’s while supporting causes related to the value of a life connected to nature and the mountains. It is a well named and well put together piece of history.” - Larry Stanier, 2018 Book Competition JuryMountain Image Award
