A twin-engine trans- port released forty packages, over the area surrounding the e vedi- tion’s main base camp, at a 1.,000- foot altitude on the Kahiltna Gla- & MC KINLEY PARTY.

T m in by Moore The four members of the expedi- tion’s mapping party were flown 1to the glacier by Dr. Terris Moore cresident of the University of Al- ka, in Dr. Moore's light, ski- cquipped aircraft. They landed on the glacier at a 7000-foot level, and rom there made the trek. to their :nt location. The four are Dr. adford Washburn, director of the Boston Museum of Science and cader of the expedition; Dr. Hen- { Buchtel, Denver physician; james Gale of Anchorage, Arctic wvival expert; and Capt. William D. Hackett, U. S. Army, of Denver, now stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska, who has made many moun- ascents throughout the world. At Wonder Lake The geologic party of the expedi- tion is now at Wonder Lake, where they are reported to be awaiting S |the horse pack train which will | transport them part of the 55 miles 1to Peters Glacier, on the northwest |side of the mountain, where they plan to conduct research before | proceeding to the Kahiltna camp. They are T. M. Griffiths, glacial ge- ologist from the University of Den- ver; Dr. John Ambler, Denver phy- sician; Barry C. Bishop of Cincin- nati, 19-year-old geology student at the University of Cincinnati; and Jerry More of Denver, a 23-year-old Dartmouth College student. New Route Safer Dr. Washburn radioed that the | mountain seems safer and more practical than any route previously taken. The portion of the Kahiltna Glacier traversed by foot was des- cribed as being a “good, steep, steady climb—ascending about 2500 feet in five miles—with few crevas i ses or holes.” This is the first time | present route up the base of the | |that the western buttress of the | mountain has been apbroached. The weather the last two days has been excellent. When the party reached the camp site last night, the temperature was 9 degrecs above zero; and later had risen to twen- ty degrees. Precision Drops The- material dropped included the great bulk of the expedition’s heavy supplies. When one load dropped with terrific impact just five feet from the men’s tent, they rasked for less precision. All other drops, they said, were made “with- |in easy walking distance.” Plans are now being made by the mapping party to set up their geo- detic instruments on a huge dome of snow located at approximately 12,500-foot altitude. being jointly sponsored by the Bos- |ton Museum of Science and the University of Denver.
