Wind River Outing of the C.M.C.

Publication Year: 1947.

Wind River Outing of the C. M. C. The Colorado Mountain Club held its 33rd Annual Summer Outing in the upper Dinwoody Canyon of the Wind River Range, 3-18 August 1946. Eighty persons participated, including members not only of the C. M. C. but also of several Eastern clubs. Seven of the 80 are members also of the A. A. C.: J. V. Ambler, R. C. Black,III, M. B. Howorth, Lt. Col. A. H. Jackman, Mary Merrick, Evelyn Runnette and Carl Blaurock.

Trips were scheduled daily to the various peaks and points of interest of the region. Most of the major peaks were climbed at least once, including Turret, Warren, Dinwoody, Pinnacle Ridge, Sphinx, Gannett, Koven, Bastion, Helen and Fremont. Among the spots visited chiefly for the views and photographic possibilities were Horse Ridge and Klondike Lake. As usual on C. M. C. Outings, the less experienced participants—ordinarily the majority—were led to the principal points of interest by designated club leaders, while small groups of capable members undertook the more unusual trips and sportier climbs. A new route up Koven by the N. ridge was climbed by two separate parties, and a new route was made also on Bastion.
