THE MOUNTAINEER. 



Chamois skin heel protectors, or ad- 

 hesive plaster applied in strips, will 

 also serve as a protection against 

 chafing. 



Any sort of light, broad-brimmed 

 hat can be worn. A fine mesh mos- 

 quito head net is needed as there 

 may be mosquitoes in the lower val- 

 leys. 



Colored glasses will be essential. 

 Women should also carry heavy veils 

 to protect the face from burning 

 when on the snow. Grease paint 

 should also be taken as a protection 

 from snow-burn. 



It is recommended that each mem- 

 ber of the party take a small haver- 

 sack to carry the lunch on daily 

 trips. In all rock climbing there is 

 danger of a'knapsack swinging from 

 side to side and interfering wath 

 one's movement. Therefore the hav- 

 ersack, fitted as a pack on the back, 

 is much the safer. 



Each member should also have a 

 good serviceable alpine stock, fitted 

 with a steel point, and should have 

 a full set of screw calks that can be 

 set easily, when necessary for ice 

 work. 



Tents are essential, but will sel- 

 dom be used to sleep in. The Com- 

 mittee will have several at the main 

 camp, but wherever possible the 

 members should arrange to have 

 tents of their own. If three or four 

 could arrange to occupy a tent it 

 would lessen the expense to each one 

 and easily keep their baggage within 

 the limit. 



The packing of the above outfit is 

 an important point, and reference is 

 made to section 3 under Rules and 

 Regulations regarding the size and 

 dimensions of the bag required. The 

 weight and size limit given there will 

 have to be rigidly enforced. If the 

 bags are over weight or over size 

 they will have to be left at Port An- 

 geles. 



It will add greatly to the enjoy- 

 ment of the trip if those who possess 

 musical instruments would take 



them along, and the Committee will 

 do all it can to aid members in this 

 matter. The evening camp-fire will 

 be one of the attractions of the trip. 

 A special program committee will be 

 in charge each evening. 

 Expense. 



The expense of the outing will be 

 forty dollars ($40.00), and this 

 amount will entitle one to partici- 

 pate in its privileges for three weeks, 

 and it will, without doubt, cover all 

 expense, so that no further assess- 

 ment will have to be levied. Those 

 wishing to return to Seattle within 

 two weeks can do so by making a 

 special arrangement with the Com- 

 mittee. 



Since the provisions and outfit 

 must be purchased for cash, and will 

 have to be forwarded several weeks 

 in advance, it will be necessary for 

 each person, who desires to make the 

 trip, to send to the Secretary of The 

 Mountaineers a deposit of twenty 

 dollars, to cover this expense. THIS 

 I\rUST BE DONE NOT LATER 

 THAN JUNE 1ST. 



Since the provisions for a definite 

 number will have been purchased 

 weeks in advance and packed into 

 the mountains, the deposits made by 

 people who find themselves unable 

 to join the outing cannot be refund- 

 ed. However, their places could be 

 filled by some one acceptable to the 

 Committee. 



Send money by check or money- 

 order, payable to "The Mountain- 

 eers," and mail it to the Secretary, 

 Dr. Cora Smith Eaton, 482 Arcade 

 Building, Seattle. 



Mail. 



Mail will be brought to the main 

 camp and sent out once or twice a 

 week. All mail should be addressed.
