Harvard Mountaineering 3
HARVARD MOUNTAINEERING 1931·1932 THE HARVARD MOUNTAINEERING CLUB CAMBRIDGE, MASS. ~I I ' HARVARD MOUNTAINEERING 1931-1932 THE HARVARD MOUNTAINEERING CLUB CAMBRIDGE, MASS . THE ASCENT OF MOUNT FAIRWEATHER by ALLEN CARPE We were returning from the expedition to Mount Logan in 1925. Homeward bound, our ship throbbed lazily across the Gulf of Alaska toward Cape Spencer. Between reefs of low fog we saw the frozen monolith of St. Elias, rising as it were sheer out of the water, its foothills and the plain of the Malaspina Glacier hidden behind the visible sphere of the sea. Clouds shrouded the heights of the Fairweather Range as we entered Icy Strait and touched at Port Althorp for a cargo of salmon; but I felt then the challenge of this peak which was now perhaps the outstanding un climbed mOUlitain in America, lower but steeper than St. Elias, and standing closer to tidewater than any other summit of comparable height in the world. Dr. William Sargent Ladd proved a kindred spirit, and in the early summer of 1926 We two, with Andrew Taylor, made an attempt on the mountain. Favored by exceptional weather, we reached a height of 9,000 feet but turned back Photo by Bradford Washburn when a great cleft intervened between the but tresses we had climbed and the northwest ridge Mount Fairweather from the Coast Range at 2000 feet of the peak. Our base was Lituya Bay, a beau (Arrows mark 5000 and 9000-foot camps) tiful harbor twenty miles below Cape Fair- s camp at the base of the south face of Mount Fair weather; we were able to land near the foot of the r weather, at 5,000 feet. -
Canada's Everest? Rethinking the First Ascent of Mount Logan and the Politics of Nationhood, 1925
Scholarly Articles CANADA’S EVEREST? 95 Sport History Review, 2004, 35, 95-121 © 2004 Human Kinetics Publishers, Inc. Canada’s Everest? Rethinking the First Ascent of Mount Logan and the Politics of Nationhood, 1925 Zac Robinson and PearlAnn Reichwein University of Alberta In the early decades of the twentieth century, Canadian mountain- eering progressed largely independently of the European mainstream. During this era, however, one British endeavour captured the imagination of North American climbers and, for the first time, propelled mountaineer- ing into western popular culture: the struggle that began in the early 1920s to climb the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest (8,852 m). Being able to claim the first ascent of Mt. Everest was of paramount impor- tance to Britain, a preoccupation that lasted nearly half a century. After two earlier unsuccessful attempts, the British made a third attempt in 1924 via the mountain’s north ridge. All hopes were resting on George Leigh Mallory—the so-called “Gallahad” of the British mountaineering· fraternity—and his young, inexperienced climbing partner, Andrew Irvine. Clad in tweed suits and puttees, the two men left for the summit on the morning of June 8 but never returned. News of the death of Mallory and Irvine deeply moved many people in the West, with one editorial reflect- ing nationalistically: In the days of peace, England will always hold some who are not content with humdrum routine and soft living. The spirit, which ani- mated the attacks on Everest, is the same as that which has prompted arctic and other expeditions, and in earlier times led to the formation of the Empire itself. -

FIRST ASCENT OF THE EAST PEAK OF MOUNT LOGAN by GILBERT ROBERTS Mount Logon. North America's second highest peak at 19,850 feet, is also one of the world's largest mountain masses. Located in the wildest part of the St. Elias Range, it has seen little mountaineering activity. In 1925, the first ascent was accomplished by a route from the Ogilvie Glacier which gained the long ridge leading to the summit from King Col. This ascent had gone down as one of the great efforts in mountaineering history. McCarthy, Foster, Lambert, Carpe, Read, and Taylor ulti- mately reached the central summit after months of effort including the relaying of loads by dog sled in the long Yukon winter--a far cry from the age of the air drop.
