Spokane Mountaineers. Membership has continued to increase during the year as have the number of club activities. President Gene Gibbs with a team of six held an effective climbing school for 60 students in the spring December saw the completion of a long-cherished project, a 1200-foot overhead tow at the club’s Mount Spokane skiing facility. The comfortable chalet there has views across acres of uncrowded ski slopes to the beckoning Cabinets and Bitterroots. For the second year running the summer outing was held in the Tetons. Elsewhere, rock techniques were practiced on Chimney Rock in Idaho, Buck Mountain in the Cascades, and on Mount Sir Donald’s northwest ridge. Various members also climbed Ibex in the Cabinets, Matterhorn in the Wallowas, several of the highest Cascade peaks, as well as Mount Whitney in the Sierra and Mauna Kea on Hawaii. Also a worthwhile trip was made to Kokanee Glacier Park, B. C., where an exploratory approach was made to the eastern side of unclimbed Mount Cooper (10,100 feet).
