JOHN BALDWIN Presents

 A Life in the Wild

John Baldwin was honoured by the Alpine Club of Canada in October 2019 to be the Patron for the Guides Ball in Banff. His contributions to the mountain communities in Canada were recognized. This honour is significant on its own but of further importance since it is the first time it has been bestowed to a West Coast mountaineer.

The evening in Banff started with Chic Scott who introduced John like no other, followed by John's wife Linda Bily giving a colourful description with fun and humorous images to pay tribute to John. John gave a well delivered presentation along with visually beautiful images of the West Coast and those of us who were present were proud to witness John receiving this honour. It was also fun to see some familiar faces in the images ( with ACC people, NSR, ACMG, VOC and BCMC!)

Words from Chic Scott:

Known affectionately to his friends as the King of the Coast Range, John Baldwin has spent his life in a quest to experience the west coast wilderness. Since his teenage years he has explored the rugged Coast Mountain Range, climbing 700 peaks, many of them first ascents, and making perhaps one hundred multi-week, long-distance forays across the ice fields and along the ridges of what is one of the last true wilderness areas on earth. Shunning the easy path, John has forged his own way through some of the toughest geography on the planet. He is a mountaineer and explorer of the first order.
