Stanford Alpine Club

Publication Year: 1953.

Stanford Alpine Club. Besides the weekend practice climbs on local rocks in which dynamic belaying is stressed, the Club climbed in Yosemite, Pinnacles National Monument, and Castle Crags. Two new routes were made in Yosemite, one up the face of Eagle Peak from the valley. During the winter, ski mountaineering trips were made to Mt. Shasta, Mt. Ritter, and Toulumne Meadows. An all-girl party made several first manless ascents in the Tetons. Two members were in the party which made the first ascent of La Perouse in the Fairweather Range, Alaska. Emphasis is being laid upon safety and the training of leaders and qualified second men for the climbing in Yosemite Valley.
