Hall to Show Movie of Mt. Hayes Ascent Before HMC

Climbers Hold Open Gathering Tonight

Featuring colored movies of the first ascent of Mt. Hayes as described by Henry S. Hall, the Harvard Mountaineering Club will hold an open meeting tonight in the Lowell Junior Common Room at 7:45 o'clock for those interested in their activities.

Henry S. Hall, who has made special arrangements to keep this appointment, is secretary of the American Alpine Club and Graduate Advisor of the H. M. C.

The Harvard Mountaineering Club is the only active college organization of its kind, with 19 years of existence to its credit. It has lately been testing climbing equipment for the U. S. Quartermaster Corps in Tuckerman's Ravine. To its credit is the ascent of Nanda Devi in the Himalayas, the highest summit yet reached by man.

The Journal that they have just published includes stories about the scaling of Mt. Hayes in 1941, an expedition to Peru, the conquest of Mt. Bertha in Alaska, and the trek up Mt. Walsh and Mt. Wood in Yukon territory.
