Hazard Stevens

First Successful Ascent of Mt. Rainier, 1870 is Hazard Stevens' account of the first documented successful climb of Mt. Rainier, achieved on August 17, 1870, alongside P.B. Van Trump and the Indian guide Sluiskin. Initially published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1876, the narrative details their harrowing experience, including warnings from Sluiskin about the mountain's supposed evil spirit. The climbers faced extreme conditions, spending a night trapped in an ice cave, which highlights the perilous nature of their expedition and the challenges of early mountaineering.
