Princeton Mountaineering Club

Publication Year: 1951.

Princeton Mountaineering Club. The Club finished in June 1950 a fairly active year—its first as a separate entity in the university. The renewal of the academic year in September found no decrease in interest. During the summer members had climbed in the American and Canadian Rockies and in the Alps. As usual, the Tetons proved to be especially popular. This year climbs are being scheduled from one to three times a week, at the Delaware Water Gap and in near-by quarries, to give practice in rock-climbing techniques and train climbers to teach as well as lead. Two trips to Mt. Washington have been made, and a spring trip to Katahdin is tentatively scheduled. A series of lectures is being planned for this year, with emphasis to be placed on mountaineering safety; and a bulletin will be published, later in the year, to report the Club’s activities.
