The Mt. Tyndall trip in the High Sierra on August 13-14, led by John Delmonte, proved to be an all stag trip. After a long hot climb over Shepherd Pass, the party of 12 made the summit by a route from the N. E.
The Toiyabe (Arc) Dome trip in Nevada was cancelled by the leaders. Apparently the unseasonable heat and the distance caused a lack of interest. It is, however, a very beautiful hiking and climbing area, and well worth a visit. Perhaps we can reschedule this trip at a later date.
