Bradford Washburn

4/5 ( ratings)

Born: June 06 1910

Died: 0909 01 20072007

Bradford Washburn was only 11 years old when his family rented a house on New Hampshire’s Squam Lake for the summer, he made his first ascent up Mount Washington and wrote his first book.

In high school, Washburn explored more of the White Mountains and at age 16 wrote a guidebook to the Presidentials, which included 39 of his own photographs. While still a teen, he hiked in Switzerland and wrote Among the Alps With Bradford, published in 1927.

Washburn studied geology and geography at Harvard and during his college years traveled to Alaska. After a not very successful attempt on Mt. Fairweather, Washburn realized that his greatest reward was not in the climb itself but rather in the science of exploration: documenting, mapping, and photographing what he saw.
