Granite Peak, Highest i'm State,
First Climbed Is Years Ago

Fourteen-thousand-f DOT Granite
peak, the roof of Montana, was first
scaled 10 years ago by three intrepid
forest service officials and in the
opinion of one who subsequently
climbed 1t, the trick won't be accom-
plished for another such period Of
time
In August, 1923, party of eight
men started up the precipitous slopes
of Granite peak, but split into two
groups as they assembled and the small
er party, composed OF R. T. Ferguson,
j. c. Witham and Elers Koch, reached
the top at 1l:10 a. m. August %. Mem
bers of the other party which got $50
feet from the summit before being
stopped by overhanging pinnacles,
were George G. Osten, Guy ONeill,
Fred Inabnit, Verne johnson and w. H
Banfill
Other men have since climbed the
states highest mountain and one of
them, j. E. Vogel, assistant cashier at
the Montana National bank at Bill
lings, who succeeded in reaching the
top in August, 1926, now believes that
the climb is becoming more difficult
and more dangerous each year because
of the crumbly granite makeup of the
peak. Each foothold must be tested
before taking step. Vogel has been
