  • Walter Dwight Wilcox, Who Throughout a Long Life Was Devoted to the Mountains, Was an Original Member of the American Alpine Club
    WALTER DWIGHT WILCOX 1869–1949 Walter Dwight Wilcox, who throughout a long life was devoted to the mountains, was an original member of the American Alpine Club. Born in Chicago, Illinois, on 24 September 1869, he was edu­ cated at Andover and Yale, where he was a member of the class of 1893, and later continued his studies at Columbia. While he was still in college, he ascended Mount Hood, and the summer after his senior year he made the first ascent of Eagle Peak in the Selkirks. This was the first of a number of important Canadian climbs which he made annually from 1893 to 1896 and again in 1899. Among his first ascents in this period were Mount Aberdeen, Mount Temple, Observation Peak and Mount Niblock. He crossed several new passes, and was the first white man to go by what is now known as Wilcox Pass to Fortress Lake. At about this period he also circled Mount Assiniboine, which he strongly attacked with Henry Bryant in 1901. Their party was forced back at 11,000 feet. Afterwards they visited the then unmapped area south of the Kananaskis Lakes. That fall Wilcox married Nanna Lawson. Though Wilcox was again in the Selkirks and Canadian Rockies in 1902, his most active climbing days were now over. But interest in the mountains never left him. Nineteen years later, for instance, he made a first ascent of Mount Baker in the Canadian Rockies; and in 1940, when he was 71 years old, he again revisited Wilcox Pass. Mr. Wilcox, who had business interests in Cuba, spent his later years in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
