Five-Man Team Successfully Scales
Second Highest Peak in N. America
JUNEAU, UP\—One of five Cali
fornia and Wahington State men
who just completed a 40-day ex
pedition climbing Mt. Logan re
ported their party reached the
peak of the 19,850-foot mountain
on July 19.
Cecil M. Ouellette, 22, Yakima,
Wash., said Monday the summit
was reached after 22 days of
tough climbing “over rock and ut>
steep snow and ice slopes.”
Ouellette said the climbers es
tablished eight camps between
the 7,000-foot and 17,000-fo6t
levels enroute to the first suc
cessful assault on the huge moun
tain from the east ridge.
The mountain, the second larg
est in North America, has been
climbed three times from the
west. The peak is about 50 miles
north of Yakutat.
“The summit dash from the
highest camp was done in good
weather,” Ouellette said in a let
ter to the Associated Press. He
said all five members of the party
reached the peak at the same
time.
The young mountaineer was ju
bilant at the success he shared
with Dave Collins, 28, Seattle;
Kermneh Ross, China Lake,
Calif.; Gil Robert, 23, San Fran
cisco, and Don Monk, 26, Dan
ville, Calif.
He commented: “This is, with
out a doubt, the most extensive
mountaineering ever accomplished
in the St. Eli^s range, and-prob
ably the finest climb made this
year in North America.”
Oullette and his companions
reached Yakutat last Friday en
route to their homes.
“It is a long way from the sum
mit of Logan to the sea,” the Yak
ima youth wrote. “And after
spending 22 days on the moun
tain, the expedition had to walk
90 miles across three glacier sys
tems with heavy packs before
reaching the shore of the Pacific
Ocean. All told, the climbing par
ty spent 40 days of mountaineer
ing and wilderness travel.”
The Philippine Islands, of
which there are approximately
7,083, were named after Philip II
of Spain.
