great, enthusiastic cheer went up
from the climbers, but an awe
struck silence followed, while
every human being who looked up
on the stupendous monument of

the silence was broken by Profess

Two preliminary climbs were
taken from the Longmire springs

Nisqually glacier, wher the ashy
Nisqually river pours forth from
a massive valley of ice, and the
other to the top of Eagle peak

day We pushed on to permanent

setting sun, the long files came
back, the fittest walking briskly
in the lead, the weaker ones with

What wonders of muscle and

full membership, after which we
enrolled our names in the summit

more of a test of endurance than
a test of nerve. On this trip three
great glaciers. branching from
common source near the summit
of Rainier must be crossed, an ex-
panse of more than ten miles each
way, with steep up-grades. A
novel bit of travel lghtens the
spirits on this trip, the steep
slopes between the glaciers being
taken by toboggan slide, the
climber sitting fiat in the snow
and taking a half-mile slide in the
twinkling of an eye, his knicker-
bockers Tor her bloomers) being
only trif1e the worse for wear
when the slide is finished with a
double somersault at the foot of
the slope. Some of the wiser
climbers carry tin wash-basins in
which to sit while coasting..
Creeping close to the ledge to
avoid the falling rock, and secur-
ing careful handhold lest the foot
hold prove insecure, we crept
along the narrow seam, attending
strictly to the yard-length ahead
| OF us, and keeping our eyes and
our thoughts from the precipice
that waited just below, 20 feet,
sometimes only 10 feet, down the
slant surface of loose rock and
sand. Here and there a leap, by
the grasp of the hand ahead, had
to be made across wide stretches
| where there was no footing, and
after travelling the distance of
| about tire city blocks, we came
to a wall of ice, almost perpindic-
ular, in which steps were cut. Ten
feet below the bottom step was
the Overhanging rim of a great
precipice, and one misstep would
have landed a careless climber in
to the Nisqually glacier, half a
mile underneath.
All the way along, in the more
dangerous places. we held to the
| lifeline, the end of which had been
carried on and made fast ahead
The women and men alternated in
| file, and we were in four compan-
les, each captained and under
strict discipline.
Once past the Gibraltar trail,
the climb to the summit became
| more ardOus than perilous, al
| though on the upper fields we
threaded our way through more
| than 500 great crevasses which
cleft the mountain side of ice to
! incalculable depths. More than
| three hours of continuous climbing
up a grade of from 60 to 80 per
cent brought us with cramped
muscles to the rim of the summit
crater, over which we dragged our
exhausted bodies with faint cries
! Of exultation, and dropping into
the soft snow inside the crater for
the sweet privilege of rest.
