Don Bowie Over the last 16 years Don Bowie has climbed extensively throughout the United States and Canada, as well as on expeditions to Africa, South America, New Zealand, Mexico, and Baffin Island (which is technically in Canada, but sounds more impressive highlighted in this context). 2007 marks Don's third season climbing in the Himalayas, with previous expeditions to Broad Peak, Cho Oyu and the SouthFace/East Ridge of Annapurna in 2006. A Canadian by birth, Don now makes his home in Bishop, California, where he works as a seasonal employee tracking and capturing mountain lions for the California Department of Fish and Game. While not traveling on climbing expeditions around the globe, Don serves as an active team member with the Inyo County Search Sheriff and Rescue Team. An avid writer and amateur photographer, Don has also recently discovered a certain deftness at writing in third-person narrative. For more spray on Don, visit www.donbowie.net .
