Mountaineering Club of Alaska

Publication Year: 1981.

Mountaineering Club of Alaska. During the year many club members climbed on non-club sponsored trips in the Chugach, Talkeetna, Wrangell, Alaska, and Kenai Ranges. Three members climbed Mount Drum (12,010 feet), and second ascents were made of Mount Soggy (7190 feet) and the north summit of Mount Baleful (7000+ feet). One of our members joined the American Women’s Expedition to Dhaulagiri I in the Himalaya.

The club conducted an ice-climbing school, a basic glacier travel school, and one in basic rock climbing. Numerous weekend and one- day climbing, cross-country skiing, and hiking outings were sponsored by the club.
