ence in Mountain Climbing.

Miss Annie S. Peck, who has won fame
as mountain climber and holds num-
ber of records for scaling lofty peaks,
addressed the National Geographic So
ciety at National Rifles Armory last
night. She was introduced by Prof. Will
lis Moore, president of the society, as the

third lecture before the society on noun
tain climbing in the last two months, and
the big hall was filled to its capacity.
In ascending Mount Sorata, Miss Peck
said she found the climbing extremely
difficult and hazardous chiefly because
of the heavy snowfall and the frequent
avalanches. In making the trip she was
twice deserted by her stalwart male COM
papions. she claimed. and, tramping alone.
she finally reached an altitude of about
20. 800 feet above sea level. She says the
real height of the mountain is about 81
COO feet. She camped two nights on the
snow-covered slope of the big mountain
in making this record and it was neces-
sary for her to ride seventy-five miles
across a sandy desert in order TO reach
the mountain.
In describing the perils of mountain
climbing Miss Peck said the physical
dangers are slight for persons possessed
of good blood circulation and lung capac-
ity. She pointed out as among the dis
comforts sleepless nights with heightened
pulse and temperature nausea
In concluding her address she said it Is
her ambition 10 return TO South America
