Harvard Mountaineering Club. The activities in the past year ranged from near to far. Rock-climbing trips were made to nearby granite quarries, to the Shawangunks in New York, and to Cannon and Cathedral in New Hampshire. Last summer found members active in British Columbia, Alaska, and Peru. Winter snow and ice climbing again centered in Mount Washington’s Huntington Ravine and the Club’s cabin there. A number of graduate members of the HMC were part of Alaskan expeditions. Boyd Everett led a three pronged assault on McKinley, which included the third ascent of the Cassin Ridge. Pete Carman and Don Jensen joined a five-man attempt on Deborah’s east ridge. Matt Hale, Ned Fetcher, Dave Roberts, Rick Millikan, George Millikan, and Art Davidson climbed in the previously unexplored, unclimbed Revelation Mountains, 150 miles west of Anchorage. They made nine ascents including the South Buttress, one of the two named peaks in the area. Ad Carter climbed again in the Peruvian Andes. The Club’s climbing camp located last summer in the Vowel Group in the Bugaboos of British Columbia. Jim Alt led a party composed of Ernie Carman, Volker Volk, Scott Carpenter, Ned Fetcher, Matt Hale, and Steve Arsenault. The camp put in four new routes in the Vowels. Ernie Carman and Jim Alt made four first ascents, including Mount Stone, in the Climbing Group. Three groups attempted the Club’s annual winter traverse of the Presidential Range in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Stormy weather with unusual rain abbreviated the generally three-day event. The 19th edition of the Club’s semi-annual journal, Harvard Mountaineering, was published last spring and is available upon request.
