Publication Year: 1956.

North Face of Disappointment Peak. Two routes, one direct and the other on the western edge of the face, were pioneered by William Cropper and John Dietschy on August 4 and 15. The direct route on the previously unclimbed face involved a very difficult struggle with a five-foot overhang which was finally climbed by arm-strength rather than direct aid.

Northeast Chimney of the Middle Teton. On September 4 Donald Goodrich and John Reppy climbed the more easterly of the two prominent chimneys which cut the north face of the Middle Teton. Some ice increased the difficulty near the top of the chimney.
