“ On the 14th and 15th, a special committee, representing the Scientific section of the Club, made a trip to the Yoho glacier for the purpose of initiating yearly observations of its various changes and rate of flow. A full report of the expedition will be found in the Scientific section of this volume.
In addition to the above, trips were made daily to Inspiration point, reached by a corkscrew trail branching from the Upper Yoho valley trail at a point near the camp. ”

“ On July 10th the first official climb in connection with the camp was undertaken. The party was in charge of M. P. Bridgland and the Swiss guide, Gottfried Feuz, assisted by the following active members of the Club, viz.: J. D. Patterson, Rev. Geo. R. B. Kinney and P. D. McTavish. The trail to Inspiration point was followed until above the heavy timber, when turning sharply to the left, the open alps below Michaels Mt. were passed through and the shoulder crossed a little higher up than on the previous occasion. The rock-slide was then traversed and the same route followed as on the 8th. ”

“ The bushes were wet and everyone was soaked, but in about half an hour the shoulder was crossed near timber-line. The party then traversed a long rock slide and worked its way up some steep snow slopes to the arete between Michaels Mt. ”
