PEAK

CONQUERED
Mount

in
Jasper
Park
Scaled
by
Alpine
Club
'
JASPER,
July
2o
In
one
of
the
most
difficult
and
exciting
climbs
of
the
40th
annual
camp
of
the
Alpine
Club
of
Canada
held
in
Jasper
National
Park,
a
party
of
mountaineers
traversed
Mount
Bennington,
with
an
elevation
of
10,726
feet,
in
a
little
more
than
11
hours.
The
party
of
seven
was
led
by
R.
Hind
of
Calgary,
one
of
the
foremost
climbers
of
the
club.
The
ridge
is
reached
by
a
gully,
500
feet
above
the
trail,
and
is
normally
filled
with
snow
but
on
this
occasion
was
a
mass
of
ice,
necessitating
a
great
deal
of
step
cutting.
It
required
three
hours
to
reach
the
ridge
Instead
4
of
the
usual
one
hour,
..
From
the
range,
five
hours
of
climbing
up
steep
cliffs,
alter
natlng
with
widge
ledges
brought
the
party
to
the
summit
alte
in
the
afternoon.
At
the
high
ele
vatlon
the
weather
wa3
extreme
ly
cold
and
the
party
soon
des
cended
to
camp.
Previously,
Mr.
Hind
led
party
In
a
traverse
of
Mount
Eremite
to
Eremite
Qlacier.
This
climb
took
12
hours
and
Is
con
sidered
a
"badge"
climb,
being
of
sufficient
difficulty
to
serve
as
a
qualification
for
full
membership
In
the
club.
Other
climbs
by
groups
of
the
150
mountaineering
people
attending
the
camp

Another

Angry

stolidly
refused

however,
"How

I

who
has

Trom
Lake

where
he
has
been
spending
his

vacation.
It

that

for
a

who
knows
how

there
Is

"A

he
says.
Mr.

agrees,
however,
that

a

and
there
should
be
