Kevin Dumba [email protected] Kirsten Knechtel [email protected] Awards ACMG eBulletin New Honorary Members Tim Auger 9 No 3 Vol Tim started his climbing career on the walls that made Squa- mish famous in the climbing world in the 1960s. Many of you were not born yet. He made the second ascent of The Grand Wall and the first 7 ascent of University Wall. These two climbs established him as a leading Canadian 2014 Fall climber. He was born in Toronto but grew up in Vancouver where his father was the publisher of one of the leading newspa- pers. After receiving an arts degree from UBC, Tim moved east to the Rockies where he has lived since. After Squamish, Tim went on to fine achievements in Yosemite, the Rockies and the Himalaya. He climbed Triple Direct and West Face on El Capitan, new routes on Mount Louis and Yamnuska, pio- neered waterfall ice climbing with first ascents of Bourgeau Right-Hand and Bourgeau Left-Hand, and climbed Pumori in the Nepalese Himalaya. Conrad Kain may have made the first ascent of Mt. Louis but Tim has been obsessed with Louis and climbed it more often than anyone. I have been trying to catch him but I am still way behind! Tim is here with his wife Sherry, his son Corey and Corey’s wife Kirstin. Tim and Sherry met at Lake O’hara in the 1970s and a few years later Corey was born in 1979. Tim has worked all his adult life for Parks Canada. Beginning in 1967 on trail crew, he later became a seasonal warden for six years at Lake O’Hara in Yoho Park. In the mid-1970s he moved to Banff Park to join the mountain rescue group that has now grown to a very professional program of mountain guides. He really is one of the good guys. I will save stories for the social but for now, please welcome, Tim Auger, well deserving, honorary member, of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. Marc Ledwidge with excerpts taken from Chic Scott’s“Pushing the Limits” ACMG eBulletin Awards New Honorary Members Vol 9 No 3 Vol Conrad Kain In June 1909, the 25-year-old Austrian moun- tain guide Conrad Kain arrived in Canada with the promise of employment as the Alpine Club of Canada’s first professional guide.

  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.

WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.
