Dartmouth Mountaineering Club, 1947. During the first two weeks of July 1947, six members of the Dartmouth Mountaineering Club packed into the Wind River Range for an attempt on Gannett Peak. Unusually deep snow on the Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers made progress slow. The attempt was unsuccessful, and attention was focused on the smaller peaks in the area. The range was entered from the E., and horses were used to pack supplies all but the last seven miles below base camp at the forks of Dinwoody Creek.

Two of the members then proceeded to the Canadian Rockies, while the rest dispersed in the Tetons. Ascents were made of Nez Perce, Teewinot, Owen, St. Johns, Moran, and South, Middle and Grand Tetons.

Under the auspices of the Club, Merrill McLane and Henry Coulter published a climbing guidebook to the Tetons.
