Spyglass Group, Lardeau Range. Two outlying peaks of the Spyglass group were climbed by William C. Fix and Terry Beck on July 29 and 30. Approach from the Lardeau River was made via Tenderfoot Creek. Turning south from the creek the climbers ascended 3000 feet along a cataract to a camp at timberline. “Tripod Peak” (8610 feet) was climbed from this camp by a steep snow finger on the north face. On the same day the party ascended “Spyglass North” (8666 feet) via the southwest ridge. Exit was made via the long east ridge to Lardeau River.
