A.A.C., Cascade Section. Membership in the Section increased to over 100 members with the addition of several new climbers to the roster. Most members were active throughout the summer both within the United States and elsewhere. Trips were made to Alaska, Canada, Europe, and South America, and several noteworthy climbs were made which are detailed elsewhere in this Journal. Seven meetings were held during the year. These included such programs as Bill Bridges’ illustrated talk on the national parks of New Zealand; A1 Randall’s slides of Pinnacle Peak in the St. Elias Range; Mike Rees’ and Vic Josendal’s slides of Huascarân in Peru; Dee Molenaar’s and George Senner’s slides of the ascent of Mount Kennedy in Alaska; Paul Williams’, Gene Mason’s, and Ralph Mackey’s slides of Aconcagua; and Tom Hornbein’s story of the West Ridge of Mount Everest. The year’s activities culminated with the section's being honored to host the Club’s annual dinner on the West Coast for the first time. The attendance numbered 343 persons.
