With honesty, self-deprecation, and wry humor, Bree Loewen reflects on the life-altering experiences of being a climbing ranger on one of the most dangerous mountains in the country, Mount Rainier. People die on the mountain every year, but some are saved. As one of only a handful of women on staff, Loewen fought to prove herself to her superiors, both physically and mentally, while confronting the often unrealistic expectations of the public on a mountain of no mercy. Writer and former EMT Bree Loewen has--through a series of adventures and misadventures--climbed mountains all over North and South America. After years of living out of her car, she resides with her family in Washington, and still has all her fingers and toes.
