A.A.C., Southern California Section. Membership in the section increased to 80 this year. The section met twice with programs on Mount McKinley by Paul Gerhard and on the Hummingbird Ridge of Mount Logan by Frank Coale. Members participated in climbs and expeditions in Alaska, Canada, Europe, and the Sierra Nevada. Many new routes were made of which the most important are detailed elsewhere in the Journal. Work is proceeding on two guidebooks. Bob Kamps is compiling a guide to The Needles and Chuck Wilts is compiling a new edition of the guide to Tahquitz Rock.
