Alpine Club of Canada. The year 1974 was one of expansion for ACC activities. The General Mountaineering Camp was held for three weeks at Robson Pass, close to Berg Lake. The 1973 experiment of a training week to begin the camp was highly successful and was repeated at Robson. Snow, rock, and ice schools together with a variety of training climbs were held under cloudless skies during the first week. Almost two of the three weeks had perfect weather, and virtually every peak in the area was climbed by a variety of routes. Robson was climbed by two parties, one by the normal route from the Forster hut and the Kain face. The Alpine Climbing Camp was held in the Battle Range, with the participants experiencing the same excellent weather that those at the Robson camp did. It was even reported that everyone was too exhausted to climb on the last day because the weather had been too good for there to be a rest day! Twenty-seven people attended the camp. The Family Camp was based at the ACC’s Stanley Mitchell hut in the Little Yoho Valley. Many families participated in climbing, schools, and hiking for the two-week period.

The ski camp program was expanded from the normal one- or two- week camp to seven weeks in three locations. A two-week cross-country camp was held in the Eremite/Tonquin area, based at the Wates-Gibson hut. Three weeks of ski mountaineering based at the Stanley Mitchell hut in the Little Yoho and two weeks at the Fairy Meadow hut in the Adamants completed the program. All the camps included good (and sometimes most “interesting”) skiing as well as a number of ascents.

Two club groups trekked to Nepal, with several ascents made of 18,000-19,000-foot peaks. There were also various private climbing expeditions, some with ACC endorsement and supported by grants from the Expeditions Fund.

A new Board of Management is now operating the club’s affairs, Stan Rosenbaum has taken a second term as president, and the club manager, Pat Boswell, resigned to take over Banff’s local newspaper and printing business. Evelyn Moorhouse is his successor.

The Canmore clubhouse has completed its second year of operation. The use has increased, and many small jobs have been done to make the building essentially complete. A balcony will be added in the spring of 1975. Thoughts are now turning to plans for sleeping cabins near the clubhouse. Once a general plan is approved, construction will proceed as donations make it possible.

The library in Banff continues to expand. It is basically a reference library, and receives current climbing periodicals and journals as well as new books in print. A reading library is also maintained in the Banff clubhouse.

Neal Carter and Henry S. Hall, Jr., have been awarded honorary membership. Both men have outstanding records of contributing to the growth of mountaineering and to the study of mountain areas.

The ACC and the AAC have participated in another joint publication: Climber’s Guide to the Rocky Mountains of Canada-North, an updated edition by Bill Putnam, Bob Kruszyna, and Chris Jones. Dick Culbert has also published a revised edition of the guidebook to the southern part of the Coast Range, Alpine Guide to Southwestern B.C.

William Wolodarsky of Calgary has endowed a scholarship in memory of his son, Forrest, who was killed in a mountaineering accident in 1973. This scholarship is available to assist Canadians who attend guide courses operated by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides.

The various club sections continue to be very active throughout the year in weekend and evening programs. The Toronto Section held a two-week summer camp in the Eremite/Tonquin area; and the Calgary Section held its second annual Tele mark cross-country ski race in March.
