The next morning thirteen people mustered for a climb of Waucoba and a double D.P.S. list finish. The beginning pace was excruciatingly fast but it leveled off and all participants made the summit. The occasion was captured on film as Doug Mantle and Mike Manchester simultaneously reached the summit cairn and climbed the pole. Doug, list finisher #24, obtained membership and emblem status on February 7, 1973 and is emblem holder #276. Mike, list finisher #24, climbed his first desert peak, Telescope, on September 18, 1971, joined the membership on November 28, 1973 and became emblem holder #317 on April 21, 1974. The event was celebrated with lunch, champagne and a gallon of vanilla ice cream, which was packed to the summit in dry ice. Shortly after lunch the summit temperature dropped dramatically and a white out drifted in. The festivities were brought to a conclusion and all departed to the cars for the trip home. Carl Stude and Boris Savic were picked up in the Saline Valley.
