Spokane Mountaineers. A Canadian summer outing at Moraine Lake below the Wenkchemna Peaks highlighted a busy year. Memorable ascents included Mounts Temple and Victoria and a grand traverse from Marble Canyon, B. C., via Fay Hut and the col between Peaks 3 and 4. Three visits were made to Montana’s Cabinet Wilderness Area, where ascents were made of Elephant Peak and Ibex. Other successful climbs were made on Sacajawea and Matterhorn, in Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains, and on Hood, Rainier, and Baker. Photographer Joe Collins and three others explored the national parks and monuments of Utah and Arizona. Notable indeed was their triple approach to Rainbow Bridge—by trail, riverboat, and air.

The Fourth of July occasioned a lively convention of climbers on Park Creek just outside the proposed Glacier Peak Wilderness Area. Mount Buckner and the Bedayn route on 9300-foot Mount Goode were climbed, while a Spokane-Wenatchee party essayed Goode’s original 1936 chimney-climb and the easier Darr variation.
