Conrad Kain’s Ascents of Mt. Robson. In a letter from Kain to a friend in Austria, received too late to be included in his book, he states in regard to his 1924 ascents: “In two weeks I have ascended Mt. Robson four times.” His round-trip times from the timber-line camp were as follows : first, 26 hrs.; second, 23 hrs. ; third, 17 hrs.; fourth, 15 hrs. This information is not in the records of the A. C. C. One must add Kain’s first ascent and traverse of the mountain, July 31, 1913, and his almost successful attempt from the S. S. W. a few days later, making a total of five complete and one incomplete ascents.

It may here be noted that the sale of Where The Clouds Can Go has yielded a profit to date of approximately $350, most of which has been sent on an installment basis to Kain’s mother. Foreign editions of the book are expected, an agreement having been made whereby a part of any profits will be turned over to Mrs. Kain. A small sum has been reserved and will be used in connection with several foreign subscriptions to secure and place a suitable bronze memorial on the Raxalpe, near Kain’s old home. It is expected that Sektion Reichenau (D. Ö. A. V.) will assist in a brief ceremony to be held in the autumn of this year.
