Harvard Mountaineering Club. Membership during 1981 continued to grow with many new novice as well as experienced climbers participating in club activities. In addition to the customary crags of New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New York, weekly beginners’ trips to local practice areas, such as the “quarries,” have been amazingly popular.

In the summer the club had a highly successful trip to the Bugaboos in British Columbia. Crescent Spire, Snowpatch, Bugaboo Spire, and South Howser Tower were all climbed, often by several routes. Other members were to be seen in Yosemite, Boulder and Estes Park in Colorado, and the Canadian Rockies. Several alumni active in Europe reported ascents in the Watzmann Range in Germany and the Eiger in Switzerland.

Although ice climbing is not currently as popular as in the Willoughby heyday, the club plans to visit Mount Katahdin and other ice-climbing areas in New England during the coming winter, and will, of course, continue to run the cabin at Huntington’s Ravine in the White Mountains.

The club will issue the 22nd volume of the H.M.C. Journal in 1982.
