Pixies Peak Lieut.. John P. Finley, United
States signal service, says that the ascent was
made in April, when the snow was the deepes,
Of all months Of the year, and the hsutenau,

The ascent was accomplished on mule back un-
til zone Of deep snow was reached, and then
the animals were taken back to the halfway
house below. Into this snow they sometimes
sank up to their armpits and saved themselves
from plunging deeper by spreading out their
arms. At one time they crossed frozen crust
in shape Of turtles back, where q foothold
had to be cut at every step and where misstep
would have sent them thousands Of feet down
the mountain. Electric storms sometimes were
Witnessed there, when each snowflake charged
with electricity discharged spark as it touched
q mules back in its fall Electric sparks
streamed from the finger tips Of upraised
banda In their ascent they encountered q
storm Of sleet that cut their faces 90 a. to draw
blood. The last five miles was fight for life
against wind sleet, cold and rsrefed air.
