this Emblem Peak. Early Sunday, 23 climbed Keynot, and by noon everyone was on their way back down the gracious slope, happy to be on the descent instead of the other way.
At the group's suggestion, everyone carried out a few of the many cans that were to be found littering up this camp. This is an area where only the true Desert Peakers visit, whether they be Sierra Clubbers or not. This trash was brought in mostly by miners in bygone years. If everyone going into such an area would carry out a little extra trash, we'd soon have cleaner camps to enjoy. Paul Nelson & Bill Clifton led the event.

WAUCOBA & ANDREWS       May 25-26        -Leon Pimple

Know Your Desert PeaksNineteen Climbers showed up Sat AM for the Waucoba workout. We drove up close to The Narrows as recommended by Bob Van Allen in an earlier Newsletter. With four off-trail vehicles we progressed to a point below the saddle between Squaw Pk and Waucoba Mtn. All save two, made the peak and signed in. One of the signers was a six year old boy. Five of the more gung-ho types took off and did Squaw for their keeping in shape.
On Sunday only four climbers remained for the Andrews ascent. The event proved to ho a leisurely one, and the Sierra view in one not to be forgotten. Of special interest is a new road. that may be built by miners to Squaw Flat, taking off from a point on the Andrews Pk road.
