As legendary mountaineer Dee Molenaar nears his 100th birthday, his children unpack boxes and boxes of their father’s films, photos, watercolors and cartography. The collection — and the story it elicits — represents a history of mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest, and far beyond, all the way to K2, which Molenaar attempted to summit as a member of the 1953 American Karakoram expedition. If Molenaar never threw anything away, one happy result is this sweet tribute that’s steeped in affection and nostalgia. Where better to celebrate Molenaar’s 100th birthday than at Paradise on the south slope of Mount Rainier at an elevation of 5,420-feet?
