t was getting dark. The man fixed his harsh I gaze on me and in a rough voice, said bluntly, 'You're not bothering anybody, friend. You're travelers, you need help and we're giving it to you. We know what it's like to be away from yourfam ily with nobody to even give you a cup of coffee. So stop saying you're a bother. And don't offer us money. If you want to pay us, do the same thing for someone else." And ali together, the residents of the little hamlet got moving to make us some thing to eat and even emptied an entire house so we could sleep in it. I had originally only gone up to the house to ask permission to put up our tents. Further along, a day's walk away, was the Sinfo rosa Canyon. Deep, broad and, above ali, unknown. We were in southern Chihuahua and wanted to cross ali the canyons in the Tarahumara Mountains in a single trip. I had had my first encounter with one, like most of us, in the Copper Canyon, next to the railing at El Divisadero. The first thing that attracted me was the canyon itself, that deep gash in the earth where we discover that the paths clown are filled withloose rocks and it takes hours to des cend to the river. That was, in the end, the goal. Down at the bottom, nothing could be seen but the river and the mountains towering above. After a starry night or a full moon, in the morning, the air laden with smell of greenery and your ears filled with the incessant song of cicadas, you discovered that the river was really only half the journey and you still had to climb up again. -

Harmony Ridge-Lucania's Southeast Ridge
Harmony Ridge-Lucania’s Southeast Ridge S t e v e n G a s k il l , Colorado Mountain Club T h E complex massif of Mount Lu- cania rises to 17,147 feet in the St. Elias Mountains, only 50 miles north of Mount Logan. Before we started, no route had yet been completed on its southeast face for obvious reasons. The ridges are all long and draped with hanging glaciers; the faces are forbidding and well fortified. Of the myriad of ridges which make up this side of the mountain, only one goes directly to the summit, the southeast ridge, rising above a tor tured icefall in a perfect line toward the top. This was our objective. Phil Raevsky, Mike Ruckhaus, my brother Craig* and I landed on the upper Dennis Glacier on April 23, a perfect day which allowed us an unsurpassed view of the complex of St. Elias peaks, pinnacles and glaciers and especially of our entire route and planned traverse. We contemplated an alpine-style climb over Mount Lucania, across Mount Steele and finally down Steele’s beautiful east ridge, followed by a 70-mile hike out to the Alaska Highway. The mountain of equipment and food needed for the climb would make us ferry loads, at least up to the summit. By then we hoped to have reduced it to a load apiece. We spent the first day carrying two loads each up the two-and-a-half miles to our first camp, Echo Flats, at the base of the icefall. The worst dangers of the climb start there. -
North American Notes
268 NORTH AMERICAN NOTES NORTH AMERICAN NOTES BY KENNETH A. HENDERSON HE year I 967 marked the Centennial celebration of the purchase of Alaska from Russia by the United States and the Centenary of the Articles of Confederation which formed the Canadian provinces into the Dominion of Canada. Thus both Alaska and Canada were in a mood to celebrate, and a part of this celebration was expressed · in an extremely active climbing season both in Alaska and the Yukon, where some of the highest mountains on the continent are located. While much of the officially sponsored mountaineering activity was concentrated in the border mountains between Alaska and the Yukon, there was intense activity all over Alaska as well. More information is now available on the first winter ascent of Mount McKinley mentioned in A.J. 72. 329. The team of eight was inter national in scope, a Frenchman, Swiss, German, Japanese, and New Zealander, the rest Americans. The successful group of three reached the summit on February 28 in typical Alaskan weather, -62° F. and winds of 35-40 knots. On their return they were stormbound at Denali Pass camp, I7,3oo ft. for seven days. For the forty days they were on the mountain temperatures averaged -35° to -40° F. (A.A.J. I6. 2I.) One of the most important attacks on McKinley in the summer of I967 was probably the three-pronged assault on the South face by the three parties under the general direction of Boyd Everett (A.A.J. I6. IO). The fourteen men flew in to the South east fork of the Kahiltna glacier on June 22 and split into three groups for the climbs. -
