President Range. The ascent direct from Emerald Lake is not mentioned in the Guidebook because of its great length, now superseded by better routes (Stanley Mitchell Hut), but it should be pointed out (C.A.J., xxvii, 127) that in 1908 the ascent was made by C. Q. Bey, T. Kidd, A. A. McCoubrey, G. Feus. Emerald Pass was reached via the deep valley at the N. W. end of the lake and the President ascended. It was traversed to President Pass and the Vice-President ascended, this in turn being traversed and Michael Peak crossed to near Yoho Pass, this last part presenting some difficulty.
