Solving the Puzzle of Mystery Mountain

Don and Phyllis Munday

The Mundays’ passion for mountains shaped their lives, and set a standard few can match and none have exceeded. Don’s mountaineering career began before he went overseas in WW1. Phyl was already climbing when they met in Vancouver in 1918. Their marriage was a partnership in adventure, each winter spent planning and preparing for the coming season’s expedition. Their repeated weeks-long forays to explore and document the Mt. Waddington (aka Mystery Mountain) area have become legendary.
