# Event Details

- **Event Name**: "Three Fingers: The Mountain, A Lookout, and Its Lookouts" with Author Malcolm Bates
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Three Fingers is one of the more famous peaks within the North Cascades: right in our backyard but still a breathtaking challenge. In 1987, Malcolm Bates wrote the definitive book on this mountain, its geography, and the perilously perched fire lookout which stands atop it. With a new edition published this year, Malcolm will share about the history of Three Fingers as only someone who's climbed to the summit lookout over 20 times can.

Malcolm Bates was introduced to the mountains by his father over seventy years ago, and in the company of his father, siblings, and friends, he has returned year after year, climbing to lonely summits, camping next to alpine lakes, and resting in verdant meadows. The mountains have informed not only his writing but his teaching as well. Bates taught in the public schools for forty-six years, and often his students could be heard to say, “We get it, Mr. Bates, it’s a metaphor for the mountains.”

Besides Three Fingers: The Mountain, A Lookout, and Its Lookouts, Bates has written Cascade Voices and First Street Stories: A Mid-Century Snohomish Childhood.
