Mount Moffit, Southwest Ridge. A pair of Japanese medical students sat on the Talkeetna airstrip for ten days before they could be ferried to the eastern fork of the Trident Glacier on July 23. They were landed at 8700 feet. After the plane left, they realized that one of the food bags had been left behind. With scanty food, they made three camps getting to the Moffit-Shand col at 11,000 feet. They reached the summit of Moffit (13,020 feet) on July 29. They climbed Shand (12,660 feet) on the 31st. Although they were back at their pick-up point on August 2, bad weather prevented their return to Talkeetna until August 11. (Information from Iwa To Yuki.)
