SNOQUALM IE LODGE
To all Mountaineers, to all those who love the trailed valleys and the rugged peaks,
Snoqualmie Lodge Sends greetings, and extends an invitation to Visit her during this
wonderful midsummer Season. Inviting trails wind their way through cool, green
forests and many, many peaks throw out their challenge to the climbers. During this
month climbs are scheduled for every week-end, and in addition many unofficial climbs
and trips will be made, so that there will always be something interesting to do. Open
house will be maintained at all times. Members and their friends are urged to spend
their vacation or a portion of it at the Lodge. A hot and Cold shower bath has been
installed to make a visit to the Lodge more enjoyable.
The Second Ten Lodge Peaks—Feeling that the climbing possibilities of the Lodge
country have been only lightly touched, and realizing that many of our best climbers
have become disinterested because of the continued repetition of climbs they made
long ago, the Lodge Committee is offering for consideration a second series of peaks
which shall be known as the “Second Ten Lodge Peaks.” The following peaks have
been definitely selected for inclusion in this group: Huckleberry, Chikamin, Alta,
Rampart, Bryant, and Snoqualmie's Little Sister. Four more peaks will be selected
from the following: Wild Cat, ROOSevelt, Mineral, Humpback, Lemah, Tinkham, De-
fiance, Pratt, and Bandana. The Committee will be glad to receive suggestions from
interested members. -
For this month the following climbs are Scheduled: -
Around Chair Peak on 5,000 Foot Contour Line, August 2 and 3, 1930—Starting at the
base of the rock chimney, the 5,000 foot Contour line Will be followed armund Chair
Peak to the east side. Interesting rock Work Will be encountered and the views Will be
Well Worthwhile. Norvall Grigg will lead this unusual trip.
Bryant Peak. New Members' Day, August 9 and 10, 1930—All new members are
cordially invited to spend this week-end at the Lodge, and to become acquainted in
some measure with the Lodge country. A climb will be made of Bryant, which towers
above Melakwa. Lakes, on the opposite end of the ridge from Chair Peak. This climb
offers some interesting rock work and is not particularly difficult. This should be a
good climb for new members. Those who do not care to climb may make the trip
to the lakes and picnic there.
Gold Creek, Mount Alta and Rampart Ridge, August 16 and 17, 1930—This climb
takes us into a virgin country seldom visited by Mountaineers. East of Rampart Ridge
and Mount Alta, dozens of lakes spot the valleys, like Silver sheets. Swimming suits
will be in order for this trip. The return trip will be made down picturesque Gold
Creek.
Mount Thomson—University Day—August 23 and 24, 1930–Our friends at the
University are specially invited to spend this week-end at the Lodge and to enjoy our
mountains with us. On this date, Otto Strizek will lead a SeaSoned bunch of climbers to
the attack on Mount Thomson. Marvelous views are obtained from the Summit and Our
camera enthusiasts should go well stocked with films. On Saturday Boyd French Will
lead a party on the Gold Creek trail to camp at Gingerless Lake. This party will make

Sometime in the near future, the old grade
will be temporarily blocked while contrac-
torS take rock from the hillside for road

CLIMB ING HINTS-ROCK WORK
Chimneys are all right for solid rock, but
on loose rock stick to the aretes or ridges.
Do not cross loose scree or talus slopes
under large rocks or boulders, as there is
danger of knocking out the key rocks and
bringing the mass down on the party.
On loose rock move only one hand or foot
at a time and distribute one’s Weight So it
will not be thrown. On One Stone.
Do not roll any more rock than is neces-
sary. Even if there is no danger of people
below, some folks are made nervous by
the sight and Sound. -
A party should keep closely bunched on
loose rock, or if in groups, one group should
not move while another group is in an ex-
posed position below it.
In going down a talus slope it is better to
traverse the slope or go with the party
Spread across the slide rather than Straight
down in line, a talus slope should be crossed
Or descended by holding the ice axe or alpen-
Stock as One Would on Snow. -
Tennis shoes are good for climbing on
dry rocks but not on wet.
It is easier to stop a rolling rock at the
Start than afterwards. -
On a dangerous slope only one climber (if
roped) should move at a time.
Test each hand hold before relying on it
too much.
It is easier to go up a rock slope than it is
to come down. . .
It is easier to cross slopes that might be
Swept by Snow or rock early in the day than
after the Sun Warms things up.
Remember that a climb is as weak as the
poorest climber—if poorer, equipped, do not
ask another climber to do the impossible.
- —C. A. FISHER.

EVERETT SPECIAL OUTING—Mount Baring, July 12, 13, 1930.
Ellen Jenkin and Glen Bremerman in charge of outing. Paul Gaskill, climb leader.
Mount Baring has not received its share of respect and admiration. The ascent has
never before been made as a Mountaineer special outing. Although there is no trail
up this mountain there is no underbrush in the timber. The climb is not as difficult
as it looks but there will not be a monotonous minute spent on the whole trip. The
main ascent will be of the north peak, but there will be ample time for a limited num-
ber to climb both the north and the middle peaks. Those who like the mountain-goat
country will not be disappointed. Open timber, a snow slide, a 3,500-foot cliff, a good
Chance to See mountain goat, and many other things will make this a very enjoyable
trip. The descent will be made quickly. The usual fatigue in the descent caused by
the Continual jar on hard rock or trail will not be encountered.
Camp will be made at Baring. The climb will start at 5:15 a. m. Bring sleeping
bag, meSS kit, and caulked shoes. An alpenstock is desirable although not necessary.
Mail reservations, accompanied with check for $1.00, to Ellen Jenkin, 4.126 Wetmore
Avenue, Everett, not later than Thursday, July 10. Cost of trip, $3.00, including trans-
portation of $1.40 from Everett. Seattle members will be charged $1.00 more if Com-
ing with Seattle drivers on account of the greater distance. Leave Interurban station
at 3:30 p. m., Saturday. - -

A special trip is planned to Mystic Lake by way of Moraine Park. This is undoubt-
edly one of the most delightful trips on the west side of Mount Rainier National Park. “
The wild flowers should be at their best and prospects for seeing snow and ice avalanche
off of Willis Wall will be very good. The trip will be led by Wm. Bauer. The cost of
the trip will be $3.35, including dinner Saturday evening. Those who are not served
with dinner Saturday night will receive a rebate of 50 cents. Those driving their
own cars will receive a rebate of $1.50 and will please state how many passengers they

SNOQUALM IE LODGE
We are swinging into the Summer season
at the Lodge with all cylinders hitting per-
fectly and the throttle wide Open. We hope
to set a record for good times and happi-
ness generally. Trips under capable leaders
are Scheduled every Week-end, but remem-
ber, our Lodge is more than just a base or
rendezvous for peak baggers. It is a huge,
“homey” Structure where the Spirit of
friendship and peace abides, and far from
the Worry and noise of our mechanical age,
it offers a soothing quietness which rests
and comforts. Open house is maintained
all the time and Our members and their
friends are urged to make the Lodge more
prominent in their weekly schedules, to .
visit it any time, have dinner and enjoy the
peace and cheer there. For VacationistS, a.
Imore satisfactory place is hard to visualize.
During this month the following climbs
and trips are scheduled:
The Tooth, Kendall Peak, July 4, 5, 6, 1930
—Another opportunity to spend three days
in a row at the Lodge. Climbs Will be made
of Kendall on the Fourth, and of The Tooth
On the 6th of July. This Week-end is made
to Order—for those Who Wish to make Spe-
cial climbs in the Lodge country, and also
for those who wish to browse, lie around
and just take it easy. Can you think of a
more inspiring place than the Lodge, where
yOu Can Sit and day-dream while you gaZe
up Denny Valley?
Pratt, Tuscahatchie, and Melakwa Lakes,
July 12, 13, 1930—This comparatively young
MOuntaineer trip leads by way of the Gran-
ite Mountain trail to a series of beautiful
lakes where we may admire, Swim, and rest
and possibly throw a line to some hungry
fish Fred Ball will lead this trip.
Chair Peak, July 19, 20, 1930—One of our
finest climbs, where Our new members may
learn how to handle themselves when climb-
ing in rock chimneys. Marvelous views are
Obtained from Chair on a clear day and Our
Camera enthusiasts should COme Well pre-
pared, for both trail and peak offer Count-
less opportunities for pictures. On a clear
day it is possible to see Puget Sound and
Of course Rainier, Baker and Glacier Stand
high above the horizon. -
Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day—Tinkham
Peak, Mirron Lake, July 26, 27, 1930—On
this week-end, our members are specially
urged to bring their mothers and fathers to
the Lodge; to see the Lodge and the Lodge
country, where their sons and daughters
Spend so many happy Week-ends.
For our peak grabbers, a trip will be lead
up the twin peaks of Tinkham and On to
beautiful Mirror Lake beyond. This is a good
trip for new members and is in COuntry
Seldom traversed.
The highway is in Splendid Condition and
on account of the increased flexibility in
movement afforded, we plan to use private
cars and buses entirely. Cars will leave the
Club Rooms every Saturday afternoon for
the Lodge. While loading and lining up
passengers, it is permissable to park in the
alley back of the Club Rooms. The round-
trip rate between Seattle and the Lodge is
$2.00 and members having space in their
cars are requested to so advise the Commit-
tee. Members wishing transportation should
so advise the Committee when making their
reservation. Parking Space is provided just
west of the concrete bridge over Moun-
taineer Creek. The trail starts up about One
hundred yards east of the bridge.
It is now possible to park on the Old Mil-
waukee grade at the foot of the Lodge trail.
Members wishing to do so, should drive
towards the Summit until they COrme Op-
posite an old railway trestle on their left-
hand side. Then turn sharply to the right
and drive up a short incline which leads to
**- Illilill
the old grade, and then on to the foot of the
lodge trail. Drive slowly over the bridges.
The usual rate will be in effect, 25 cents
for each twelve hours or fraction thereof
for Lodge fees, and 40 cents for each meal.
For non-members, the Lodge fee is 50 cents
for each twelve hours or fraction thereof.
Members joining scheduled Lodge climb-
ing parties and not staying at the Lodge,
will be expected to pay a trail fee of twenty-
five cents. The Lodge was built and is being
maintained to enable us to make these Or-
ganized trips into this particular region, and
it is felt that those sharing the benefits of
these trips should be Willing to share the
eXpenSe.
Heavy shoes, warm clothing, a flashlight
Or Candlebug, and sleeping equipment ar-
ranged for back-packing are essential on all
Over-night trips. Members planning to
Climb should provide themselves also With
tin Cups, dark glasses, and alpenStocks.

portation, etc., will be gladly furnished by
the Committee at any time and will also be

CLIMBING HINTs
The Climbing Committee has been se-
curing ideas on the best methods of climb-
ing and the most practicable equipment.
Climbing hints will be published whenever
Space is available in the Bulletin. Much in-
formation was obtained from C. A. Fisher.
Excerpts from. Happy’s letter follow:
“Remember that these are my Opinions
Only and may not agree With yours or others.
A privilege it is to do what I can as I know
Others are better fitted to answer your needs,
but this may be a radical influence on your
COmmittee. Your letter Says serious climb-
ing, SO no need be made to take up Valley
pounding or getting in condition for a trip.
I make no mention here of clothing.
“Glasses—Although many colored glasses
and non-glare devices are on the market
the best glasses suited for one that plans
to do any extensive climbing consist of a
pair of goggles of darkened glass, with
Shield on the sides to prevent burn from re-
flected light. The shields should be ven-
tilated to prevent moisture condensing On
the inside of the glass. The glasses should
be held in place by an elastic band rather
than bows.
“Axe or Alpenstock—Although declared
by many as being dangerous, it is no doubt
true, that the person who is doing any real
climbing should be equipped with an ice
axe. The alpenstock is the thing for the
noVice Only. The axe will often save the life
of a climber who would be lost with the
Straight pole.
“If the climber clings to the alpenstock he
should have One not Over five feet in height
and of a material and weight heavy enough
to Support his Or her Weight by the middle.
“There is no question as to the advisabil-
ity Of having a thong fixed to an axe or
Stock, With a loop provided to slip Over the
wrist. Now there is no question but the
novice should be tied to his stock Or he will
lose it but One who has done much climbing
is better off without it. In case of a fall he
may get tangled in his thong and though he
might lose his axe without the thong, any
real climber is going to hang onto his axe
until the end. The Swiss climbers use no
thong and see no need for One. The Only
use of a thong is in the climbing of a cliff
where both hands are needed. On the rock.
This can be Worked by slipping the axe
through one’s belt.
“In Crossing a tilted Snow field or scree
slope, the alpenstock is and always should
be kept in Such a position that the point
is On the uphill side of the climber. The
uphill hand low on the stock and the other
hand high On the handle. If a thong is used
it should be on the wrist on the downhill
Side of the climber. On steep slopes, an axe
is held in the same manner but on gentler
4 - The Mountaineer
slopes may be handled on either side of the
climber as a cane.
“Ice steps are chopped with the point of
an axe rather than with the blade. The blade
is more for snow use and cleaning out steps.
“There are many styles of axes and sizes,
depending on the buyer. However, the main
factor in the buying should be to get good
material, straight grain wood free from
knots and heavy enough to hold One's
weight. -
“Rope—The rope should be of a size that
will not only hold the party but be climable.
The best ropes are of the twisted Style
rather than braided, as there is less danger
of fraying on a sharp ice or rock edge.
Common Manila rope may be used, but a
real rope should be used that will Stand a
high test. A soft rope is better than a stiff
OIlê.
“In using the rope on dangerous slopes
the person should be tied in rather than
hold the rope in the hands. Various knots
are in common use but the purpose is to tie
a knot that will not tighten up on a climber,
and yet is easily untied, yet not so much as
to work loose during a climb. I favor a dou-
ble bow line rather than an Overhand knot
On a bight. -
“When to rope is a question I cannot an-
swer and can only be decided by a climb
leader, depending upon his party and local
conditions. It may be such a case as being
too dangerous to rope where it is better to
lose one climber than the whole party. The
only advice I could offer is, when in doubt,
rope up. It is the duty of members of a
roped party to take care of the rope in front
of each, especially when Working Over loose
rock, that may become dislodged. In Work-
ing on dangerous slopes only one climber on
a rope should move at a time, and On
crevassed snow slopes the rope should be
more or less tight at all times. The end
men on a rope have the position of trust
and should be ready at all times to hold a
party. It is no sign of weakness on a climb
leader to rope in his party when climbing
on slopes that might result in a fall.”
