The party started at 8 a.m., spent 45 minutes on the summit and returned to camp at 2:15 p.m. The climb was made from the Burgess trail by way of the west face.
On July 12th a party, consisting of M. P. Bridgland, Miss L. E. Marshall and P. D. McTavish made the ascent of Mt. Wapta via the southwestern arete.
On July 13th the third climb of Mt. Wapta was made, by way of the west face, under the leadership of Edouard Feuz, Jr. Those who took part were as follows:
- S. H. Baker
- S. H. Mitchell
- Miss Jean Parker
- Miss Francis Pearce
- C. B. Sissons
- E. O. Wheeler
On July 14th a fourth climb was made of the same mountain by D. N. McTavish and C. R. Merrill, under the guidance of Gottfried Feuz. The climb was made up the northeast face and was found to be a difficult one, taking from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. for the ascent. The descent, by the usual route, was commenced at 4 p.m. and camp reached at 5:50.
MT. COLLIE
(10,315 feet above sea level).
On July 12th, J. D. Patterson, accompanied by the Swiss guide, Gottfried Feuz, ascended Mt. Collie from a camp pitched the night before at the foot of the Twin falls. The ascent was made by way of the Yoho glacier and the return on the opposite side of Yoho peak, by way of the Twin falls. By a curious coincidence, the peak was climbed on the same day by Miss Henrietta L. Tuzo, a member of the Club, but one who was not visiting the camp. Under the care of the Swiss guide. Christian Kaufmann, she made the ascent by a different route, and the two parties met upon the summit.
