Sometime this Spring,.Congross is expected to decide on the fate of the North Cascades National Park Bill: Acoo;r;cl:l.ng to a 'Wednesday, January 17 newscast on Channel 7 TV, however, Congressman Wayne Aspinall of Colora­ do has let it be known that hoarings won't be started before Easter, because members of his committee "still have to tour and inspect the area". (In Febr-.iary, March and April ?1 the ed.) The TV announcer also made a very startling statement: "Conservationists oppose the North Cascades National Park because it would destroy the scenic values in that area"• · · During the annual meetint of the State Resources Council on the 30th of November, 1967, the unrestricted export of logs from the Northwest to Japan and Canacv; was criticized. The motives of the speaker who brought up the issue may not be ours - he is the past president of the American Plywood Association, who is concerned about the loss of jobs in the Northwest. We have plenty of cause for alarm if trees are cut down in the Northwest and shipped to Canada, a country with an abundance of forests. Several agencies, federal and others, have gotten involved in this issue.

Snow conditions consisted or about three inches of powder snow with firm underfooting, therefore the snowshoes were left at Hyak Creek. Soon after leav­ ing the snowshoes, it began to snow and continued through the day. The summit was reached by all members of the partr who got mo!'e exercise than they planned on, due to the amount of snowf9.ll and the distance of the climb. 6 BOEALPS.

WISTL'E:R MOUh'TAIN SKI TRIP - JanuarJ 13, 14. After a nine hour trip the two cars driven by Ian Linn and Bob Storaasli arrived at the Highland Inn. Highway conditions from about 15 miles south of Squamish to the mountain vere poor. Highway traffic and fresh snowfall alowed us down - Vancouver to Whistler - we averaged 13 MPH. Despite mixed rain and snow on Saturday and rain on Sunday, the group still enjoyed the trip. First class ski facilities and service along with fine motel accomodations make this sno,., laud into one of the finest ski areas. The chair service is 16.oo per day and helicopter service is s10.00. Helicopters permit 6-8 mile runs. . . Our goggles are off to Ian and Bob for being such good drivers. Ian was almost covered by an avalanche. Suggestion: Tr1 it again in the Spring. Part,- members: 10 BOEALPS.

RA~ P~ - January 211 1968.

The sk:1 tour started from the Y at at about 8:15 1 under warm, cloudy conditions. The Tipsoo Lake snow marker rend 6 feet, considerably below normal. Snow conditions continued to improve and near the snow dome, snow shoes and skis were left behind. The climb up was highlighted by the treasurer extracting two dollars fror.i the leader for the 1968 dues. Soon after arriving at the summit, the weather cleared and warm sunshine made the lunch break enjoyable. Excellent views of the ~ajar peaks were available. Ten people participated in the ski tour - nine sno~-shoers, end one ski tourer - the leader. During the trip another peak was selected for a climb i:J1 two weeks. Party of 10 EOE.ALPS.

COMING N!iXT MONTH

For April 4, 1968, our proe;ru will be high.lighted by slides and comants by- the well-known Seattle area climber, Morrey Muzzt, !eaturi.11g climbing in the Tetons. CASTL3 PEAY. - Febru,ary n, 1968.

10 members r:ret at Narada Falls under Sood veather condi tions nnd continued up t~ Castle, packing snowshoes :or e~erciae. Aft~r having lunch, 4 of the . more inspired members continued nlong the ridge toward Unicorn, i.~ what must be a near first accent on Peak # • 3 alders made several runs and 3 of ua took advantage ot the warm sun and refiected on the view. Everyone enjoyed the outing, thanks to Lee \fest' a skilled weather prognosticating.

MT. ST. HEIZNS - February 11. A small group ot Boealp members left Seattle at the civilized hour of 7:30 A. M. on Sunda7 and reached the 8Wllllit of St. Helena, via the Dog's Head, at 2:30 P. M.

The weather was clear and v1ndJ. Crampons vere worn from just above the oar park.

MOUNr ????'? - February 4 and 18.

An intriguing looking, unnamed 6,600 ft. peak on 1:he Cascade Crest two miles s.E. ot Naches Peak haa inspired two anowhoe tripe by Boealpa members re­ cently. How-.er, the summit has not 1et been reached due to an unfortunate coincidence of lousy weather both times.

The first trip on February 4th got off to a late start when the ll!el!lbers, after putting chains on their ovn cars, gallantly took time to install a pair of ill­ fitting chl\ins fo.r a carload of girl skiers. Because of fresh snow the snow­ shoeing proved to be heavy going and it was past noon. before the 6,000 ft. pass west of the peaks was reached. The area "88 thoroughly socked in as well so the climbers abandoned their try- for the bigger peak in favor of one a short distance west of them which the map declared to be Seymour Peak. After con,.. aidarable stniggle in soft anow along the corniced ridge crest, ·this goal vaa reached.

A second tr:, on Feb!'Wlry 18th started off in moderately heavy run vhich had the climbers thoro~ wet before they reached a freezing level at 5,000 feet where the rain turned to snow. Again forging a trough th.rough a fresh snow­ fall, they reached a point on the ridge near the &OUght after peak. H9re, wind, heavy anovflll.11 and la.ck ot visibility prompted a decision to turn back.

So, in tvo attempts, the peak has not even been gl.:.c;peed and the climbers hllve bad to be content vi.th looking at a slid.a of it ts.ken from Naches Pe&k. But we figure we'll make it on the third try- for sure. Climbers - Februar:, 4th Climbers - February 18th H. W.

Everyone arrived betore midnight, although some ot ua wondered about t.he south aide or the mountain hunting tor parked oars with ~ash1ngton license plat.ea. Saturday morn.1.ng turned out to be one of the t1neat days we had seen in a long time and the decision was made to climb tbs t day. The snow cat was reserved and we got underway :rrom the lodge at the o1v111zed hour ot 9::30. Some ot the membera{l6) were apparently overweight aa the anow oat heated up and had to be halted twice to cool down. we arrived at the 8800 teet lnel at 10:15 and put on crampons tor the hard snow surface. We formed 6 rope teams at the saddle for the climb up the ridge and thru the chute. The summit was reached at 2:15, however a sharp-cold breeze hastened our departure back down to the saddle where lunch was eaten by those who had survived the rapid accent and decent in altitude. Most ot the team was down to the Blue Ox treating themaelra for dehJdrat1on by 4:30. Atter an excellent dinner at the Mazemaa Lodge a victory celebration was held 1n various parts ot the area, wb1ch was highlighted by a display ot his native dancing ability by Kenn Covington, whioh he must have learned on his recent expedition to X111manJaro. Sunday morning waa spent at timberline looking at the natives, reeling sorrf for those tbSt pad not come along and wishing ve d1dn t have to go home. We w1sh to tbank our fellow member Bob Howell for arranging tor the ~azamas Lodge and a letter was sent to them thanking the club tor their kindness.

'!'hose of you who attended recent club meetings know that we are planning construction or a mountain chalet in an Brea suitable for climbing, skiing, fishing,. and Just loafing. The chalet committee has met several times in the past month and a halt and has taken several weekend trips to investigate potential sites. Porty-three letters have been written to private property owners in the Snoqualmie, Stevens Pass, and Monte Christo ~rees inquiring es to availability of property tor lease or purchase. Personal visits were made and telephone discussions were held with otf1c1als ot The Snoqualmie National Forest and several large property owners including Northern Pacific and Weyerhauser. The response to correspondence is just beginning to come in and there have been some favorable discussions with two small property owners willing to lease propertJ to the club. Another site selection trip is scheduled tor June JOtn. So tar we have no specific reco:mmendations on a site but e.zpect to have when response to correspondence and further tield trips are complete. We did locate an ideal site near Snow Lake in the Snoqualmie area on Poreat Service land. However, our initial assumption that the Forest Service would grant a use permit has proven erroneous - at least tor Snoqualmie Porest. 'Dleir policJ caters primarily to maJor ski area developments, The Sierra Club has been auoceaatul in obtaining Porest Service permits for similar cabins 1n the Sierras and we have requested 1ntormet1on on their approach. We may have to start at the Washington o. c. level and work down. This could be a long and tedious process. In the meantime, the private property prospects look best, A recent committee session was devoted to establishing• list of requirements tor a site and type or construction. Our preliminary list for 7our consideration and discussion at the July 9th. meeting are as follows, Site Requirements 1. Driving time 2 hours or leas from Seattle. 2. Located 2-S miles trom access road. Avoid heavily used trail routes or hunting areas. l: Easy 1 to 3 hour h1ke-1n or ski-in. s. Within range of one day climbs and ak1 tours in an alpine area. 6. Near fishing and year-round drinking water. 7. Available rock, sand, and gravel for masonry construction. 8. Available woods for firewood and possible construction. Construction Requirements Three level comb1nat1on masolll'Y' and wood. 1. P1rst level• Wood storage, equipment storage, search, resc.ue, 1tnd emergency equipment room, equipment en.d supplies locker, apace for future shower end lBvatories. 2, Second level• Central circular .masonry fireplace with hood1 benches a·urround1ng fireplace I wood heating end eooking stoves aink and counter, four told-up bunks plus floor sleeping space for a1%. 3, Lotta Vertical ladde.r or pull-down type steps, built-1n bunks for ten, open area full height from second level surrounding fireplace and stack, Bxter1or'I All masonry from ground to second floor level1 Gothic arch t1pe insulated shake root above second floor level, V'.ert1cal pole or tongue and groove end walla1 ten foot e:Eter1or deck at main level enti,a.nc·e I outside stairs to ground level, Other 1mprovements1 outhouse and piped-in water from · creek. The above requirelll8nts ma1 have to be modified to suit the site, or~ not all be achieved. but this 1a what we are shooting for.

PAGE J PRES ID.c:NT I S MESSAGE

A short but active summer climbing season culminated an excellent year for the club, guided by Bill Fantozzi and his fine c ruw of officers and committees.

Th.b Echu is my first opportunity to communicate with the entire c l ub membership since the election meeting. 1 arr. sure I am speaking f or the othe r new officers as wejJ_ as myseJ.f by saying we appreciate your confidence in electing us to administer the club affairs for 1:,h li coming year.

Tht.: growing Jist of members and the variety of club tasks requires that., We have heJ.p from others as we lL I am pfoased that within just a few weeks all important conunit t ees an: now chaired and largel y organized. The roster attached to this Echo wi J :t acquaint you with all t:,he new officers and committees. Please let the program and activity chairmen know when you are available to speak, or 1ead a climb or trip, or when you can include others in your informally organized activities.

Th e Echo is our best means of club communications becausP. few ,H'i: able to attend all meetings. Its quality wi.Ll reflect the amount of mate•·ial available from club members, and the time spent in its prepar·ation. Let's have some climb and t. r ip reports from those of you who never bothered to write one b(·ifore.

The new Acti vit y and Program committees are working now on schedules for the coming year. Please give them your suggestions. SomL~ things planned for t.his winter include the annual banquet Friday, December 13th, a trip t o climb the big t hree :i.n Mexico during December holidays, a winte r climb of Mt. Rainier, and a full program of ski mountainee ring. Th e latter wi J l include semina.rs, ski tours and climbs, and ski mountaineering lesson~, ( lessons offered beginning January 5th on Sundays and Tuesday nights through Hanz Zogg 1 s Northwest Ski School). This year his instruction wil.L emphasize ::,ki touring, deep snow techniques, skiing with pack and roped skiing. Basic skiing will also be taught for those needing it prior to t his more specialized training. This will be a fine opportunity to . expand your ability and gain freedom from the s lavery of long 11ft Jines and packed s l opes with ruts and moguls.

We have a good start on planning f or a proposed mountain hut or chalet. The Company r esponse to our preliminary budgc!t estimate looks favorable, however it i s not formall y approved ye t. We have discussed this project at several meetings and I have heard opinions of ;:i good cross section of the club membership on thj s subject. Thcr

With the support of the fine l ine-up of committ ees, and participation of everyone in t he programs and activi t i es which they are working hard to plan, we should have another successful year ahead.

CONSERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING

Tuesday, November 19th, 7:30 P.M., at Erhard Wichert 1 s house, 18824-4th South West, Ch 4-5387. We hope to have Brock Evans (who beside being an attorney, is the N. W. Conservation Representative of the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs, the temporary chairman of the newly created Wa shington Environmental Council, etc, etc) as our guest speaker. In a reply from Mr. Evans to a request f or a list of items we, an interested group, might study, he l isted the following items as a.~ example of many we ought to be concerned with in the legislative area:

North Cascades National Park Proposed Bumping Lake North Cascades Wilderness Areas Re servoir Enlargement Alpine lakes Wil derness and Incr eased Logging in South­ Recreation Areas eastern Alaska Dams in Hell's Canyon Mine Potential in Alpine Sawtooth Mountains Wilderness and Lakes and North Cascades Area Recreation Areas (Idaho) State of Washington Scenic Logging in Oregon Cascades Rivers Bill Campaign to Save Oregon Beaches State of Washington Natural New Wilderness Areas in Blue Mountains Pr eserves Legislation in Oregon and Washington $40,000,000 Outdoor Recreation Protection of Olympic National Park Bond Issue (Washington, November Additions to Rainier National Par k Ballot) Air Pollution laws to Regulate and Control Water Pollution Washington State Highway Department

Mr. Evans extended an eager invitation for questions and offered his assistance in any way. Study the list. There ar e pl enty of areas of concern for every one of us. Come to t he m~eting with lots of questions and with pencil and paper in hand prepared t o find out exactly how you can take action.

P.AGE 5 THREATS TO OLYMPIC PARK'S WILDERNESS

How does . the prospect of new roads bisecting the· w~ , ,: · · :-r: ·•,, :; c i Olympic Park hit you? Testimony at recent hearings held by t he Park Service in various towns on the Olympic Peninsula has demon­ strated lhe desire by local commercial interests, Chambars of Commerce, etc, for such roads to be included in t he master plan for the Park. Amoung the juicier proposals are t he following:

A transpark road along the Dosewallips River, over Anderson Pass, down into Enchanted Valley to Lake Quinalt.

A road from Olympic Hot Springs to Soleduck Hot Springs, the main objective being a ski resort in Seven Lakes Basin.

A road along the Park's wilderness ocean beaches.

The justification for the above is the same old refrain: It would aid the local economy, and make the Park more accessible to those who 11 ~an•t 11 hike ( 11 can 1 t 11 being, in most cases, another word for 11 won I t'' , or "too lazy").

There isn't enough space here to explain why the first proposal is ridiculous. If you have ever visited Enchanted Valley, you already know why.

When the Seven Lakes Basin proposition was first advanced a couple of years ago, the developers, obviously figuring they were talking to a bunch of numbskulls, said that the road would "help the hikers. 11 It wou l d 11 h~lp 11 by annihilating the quality environment of this beautiful spo ~, which is the reason hikers go there in the first place . Of course, secondary to their great concern over the poor, tired hikers is the fact that they stand to gain financially from such a development.

Regarding the beaches, it shoul d be pointed out that , along the entire coastline of the continental U.S. there are ouly two stretches of wild beaches remaining -- in Olympic Park and the State of Maine. Now, really, is that too much to ask? Or maybe we should "com­ promise" again.

It's about time the local people real ized that National Parks were not created for the benefit of local economies, or to provide mass recreation, but to preserve uni que examples of wild America i n a relatively natural state.

If you are against (or for) any further intrusions into the wild­ erness of the great Park, then now is the time to make you1 l'~elings known. Write to:

Bennet T. Gale, Superintendent Olympic National Park Port Angeles, Washington

Bob Gunning PAG!·. 11 AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL BOEALPS"

Fellow climbersl There has been some controversy recently with r egard t o organized technical climbing. I think that this is a good sign, as it shows that we are at least interested.

In a club the size of the BOEALPS there is certainly room for all types · · of cJimbers. Until this year, most of the 11 club c limbs" have been of the .less technical variety. I think the reason for t his is that mor~ advanced climbing is done i n small groups and by its very nature lends itself tuwards this goal. However, in my opinion, a.ll climbs are "club c_limbs 11 if the majority of the party are BOEALPSl

In order to make this true, with your permission I intend to begin a BOi~LP LOG BOOK in which every climb will be entered.

Climbing is one of the most, if not the most, important activity of an alpine club, so I hope many of you will participate.

My philosophy is quite simple:

"Climb within your abilityl"

Toward this end I intend to organize both outdoor rock and ice field­ seminars where interested members will have the opportunit y to exchange ideas and brush-up on their technique. These may be at Sherman Rock (West Seattle), Leavenworth, Mt. Rainier, etc. This does not mean, and I want t0 emphasize this point, that we will be teaching climbing. As I see it, the BOEALPS is a club which enables climbers to meet, pl an and execute climbs. There are at least half a dozen groups which offer climbing courses at all levels in this area and we do not want to compete with them . That is not the purpose of our club. (If you are interested in such a course and want more information - please contact me.)

Ideally, a ll climbs would begin spontaneously. Unfortunately, it i s a fact of life that only certain individuals with sufficient initiative would participate in these. It is for the r est of us, that I intend to set up a program of climbs for the coming year. This program wi .L l be only a guide line and will remain flexible.

Of course, the success of this program will be up to you. In order to have an idea of your abilities and skills a questionaire will be attached to your 1969 membership application f orm which, I hope, you will complete and return to me . Please f eel free to comment.

DECEMBER MONTHLY MEETING THURSDAY, December 5, 1968 7:30 P.M. B.S.R.L. Math Seminar Room

DECEMBER PROGRAM

The December meeting will be an important one for club bus­ iness. The principle item will be the .detailed final report of the Hut/Chalet Committee. They have worked hard to put together an interesting and detailed presentation on all results of the studies conducted during the past six months on this proposed project. The well-developed Boeing 11 pitch11 technique with viewg~aphs and slides will be used to give you full particulars of several alternatives. There will be time for discussion and questions and a vote will be taken on future course of action. We must have a good turn-out at this meeting; to not only get a representative and sound decision on which way to go next, but also to demonst.rate our appreciation for all the work done by Ron Mayo and his committee. ' Movies to be shown are 11 Daredevils of the Alps 11 and 11Wild­ erness Alps of the Stehekin11
