A.A.C., Sierra Nevada Section

Publication Year: 1966.

A.A.C., Sierra Nevada Section. The Section met five times during the year. Programs included illustrated talks on climbs of Nevado Copa, Palcaraju, Huandoy, and Chacraraju in Peru by Leigh Ortenburger; ascents of Mount Hooker in the Wind Rivers and Proboscis in the Logan Mountains by Dick McCracken; and the ascent of the South Ridge of Mount Logan by Al Steck and Dick Long. There was a reception for Gaston Rébuffat in conjunction with the Berkeley showing of his new film, Entre Terre et Ciel. In October a mountain meeting was held at Jules Eichorn’s cabin at Echo Lake near Lake Tahoe. Several of our members attended the Club’s annual meeting in Seattle and felt it was highly successful. Section members are now 60 in number, and we have been pleased to welcome to the Club several of the younger, active technical 'climbers in this area.
