BeWild Speaker Series | Crisis on Mount Hood: A Century of Courage and the Future of Mountain Safety
Join The Mountaineers for an unforgettable evening of real-life adventure and mountain rescue as Christopher Van Tilburg, author of Crisis on Mount Hood, takes the stage! Dive into gripping stories of the Hood River Crag Rats, America’s oldest mountain rescue team, and explore the harrowing realities of alpine search and rescue today.
In addition to the on-stage conversation, representatives from local Seattle Search and Rescue organizations will be tabling at the event, providing a unique opportunity to connect directly with those who perform life-saving work in the backcountry. Learn how you can support their missions—especially in the face of declining federal funding.
This event will educate, inspire, and empower. Whether you're a climber, hiker, or outdoor enthusiast, come connect with the people who keep our wild places safe—and learn how you can support them.
Signed copies of Crisis on Mount Hood will be available for purchase.
