University of Wyoming Outing Club. The Club began 1963 with a trip to Mexico, where ascents of Orizaba and Popocatepetl were made. During January and February cross-country skiing in the Snowy Range and the Tetons was the Club’s major activity. The Outing Club sponsored the University’s Winter Carnival. Two members, Pete Sinclair and M. S. Horn, were commended by the Secretary of the Interior for their role in the 1962 A.M.C. rescue on the Grand Teton. During Easter vacation there were club trips to Devils Tower, the Needles in South Dakota, and to Monument Valley in New Mexico. With the arrival of warmer months, there was much activity at our practice rock-climbing areas and in the Snowy Range. Summer trips were made to the Tetons, the Wind Rivers, and to the Canadian Rockies, where an unsuccessful attempt was made on Mount Robson. The Club sponsored a climbing school in September for the instruction of many new climbers. Thanksgiving found members at Shiprock, New Mexico, and touring various Indian ruins in the Southwest. The year ended with another trip south of the border, where one group climbed Popo and another penetrated the jungles of Guatemala. The principal officers for the year included: Merle Ihne, president; Lynne Leary, vice-president; Heather Hamilton, secretary; Pete Sinclair, rescue chairman.
