Author Chic Scott has written the definitive book on Canadian mountaineering. That book, entitled Pushing the Limits, examines 200 years of climbing history, introducing readers to the men and women who have been at the forefront of Canada’s climbing community. In the short film below, which was made by Andre Querner, he takes a thoughtful, introspective look at mountaineering in general and what makes it such a unique, and at time enigmatic, sport.
