ANGMAGSALIK, Greenland, June 45, via London, June 27 (NANA)— “A height of 10,880 feet, which is 1,200 “eet higher than Peterman Peak, the revious highest ascent in the Arctic, Thas been attained by a party of the “British Arctic Alr Route Expedition, Zconsisting of L. R. Wager, Surgeon Lieut. Bingham and myself. 2 On May 6 we three started a North- Zern journey on the ice cap toward ~the region of Mount Forel, our purpose Zheing to map the inside border of the -ooastal _mountains, survey around “Mount Forel and climb it if possible. “Mount Forel was discovered and fixed “rom a distance of more than 70 miles 2y De Guervain in 1912, when he esti- “mated its height at about 11,200 feet, Zgnd that was the only previous survey «of that area. ““TThe ice cap in the region of Mount ZForel consists of a series of valleys and “ridges rising slowly northward. When sout 20 miles northwest of Forel we imbed a high ridge of 9,000 feet from “where we had an excellent view of the Zapproach. The inland side of the range s bounded by a wide glacler flowing in A southwest direction, the ice cap “poundary of which is marked by a Sskties of nunataks. Around the latter “the inland ice falls in steep crevassed slopes, but_the intervening valleys are “shooth and free from crevasses, afford- “ng easy access to the glacier. Z “To our astonishment, we were able Zto sledge across the big glacier and up s tributary onto the foot of Forel with- Zaut crossing a single crevasse. We “passed through this gateway to Mount rel on the sixteenth day after leaving “the base, having traveled 176 miles in 213 days. e Rises Gently From Ice. 7 For the first 100 miles of the jour- ney Forel appears tq rise gently from “the ice up to the broad ice dome at Zthe summit, which everywhere caps a “rock wall of almost 1,600 feet, rising Zup from the almost flat glacier below. “Where the rock rises steeply, the ice ~dome ends abruptly in an overhanging “wall of 200 or 300 feet. Buf above the Zeasier south and southwest ridge the “edge of the ice dome is less steep. * This ridge ran up from a snow col ZBetween Forel and an adjoining-moun- “tain, which we called Camp Mountain. “0On the first day we approached this 7¢dl from the west, but from here the idge we proposed to climb appeared to more accessible from east of the col, we went round Camp Mountain to westigate this approach. To the east of Forel, however, we iscovered a tremendous hollow, 3,000 “feet deep, encircled by mountains rising _precipitously from the glacier below. “Beyond this were innumerable fine Zpeaks and glaciers, the latter draining “into a glacier eight or nine miles wide ~running southeast into the head of Ber- “mitek Fjord. From this immense sys- “tem of glaciers we were cut off by a “very steep rock wall of 3,000 feet. - ~This difference in the level between “¢wo glacier systems so close together “was most unexpected, and we had to “return to the western approach. Camp “¥as pitched within a quarter of a mile the foot of the col at a height of 9,180 feet, and the next morning Wager and I set off for a reconnoissance of “the col. Progress was slow, as the snow _Was 12 to 18 inches deep. 277 Two Bergschrunds to Cross. “ ¢ *There were two Bergschrunds to be crossed before we got to the top. The ~first was crossed by a firm snow bridge, Zbut the upper lip of the second, which extended to the top of the col, proved ~gifficult. It was snow-free ice and a _slope of about 80 degress. The angle ~was so steep that in order to cut a step _&x inches wide the back wall of the ~step had to be about two feet high. ‘We found the top of the col was 700 et above the camp. The other side f-the col was a smooth ice slope which | Rdtrowed rapidly and fell steeply down »eouloir to the glacier some 3,000 feet ~below. To get to our ridge we had to cross his slope. Steps were difficult to cut, -48d Wager, who was leading, had to »zeturn once or twice to rest before we ~Tegched a rock about 60 yards away two Hours later. We then spent an hour fr the rock before returning to camp. Two days later we reached the top this rock after six hours of climb- g, but the ice dome, which from Jow had appeared to slope down gently, was much steeper than we had Zexpected. I belayed (made fast) to| Zthe rock and Wager cut steps for one| > 's length, but the ice was of such ~texture that instead of being able to - a step with five or six strokes of axe it took 20 or 30. “To get to the top of the steep part about 300 steps would have been nec- ary, which would have required Zxmch more time and also more energy «than was available in such a small »party. % It would have been unsatisfactory =for a tired man to cut these steps, as a “misstep would have meant a loss of Zbalance with an accompanying fall of «4,000 feet. » Take Careful Reading. Having considered this, we reluc- Ztantly decideg to return. Before starting «the descent we boiled the hyphemeter zand read the aneroid, from which we wsubsequently determined our height as 71,700 feet” above the camp whose L height, after a week's observations, was ~estimated as 9,180 feet. Thus we had “reached a height of 10,880 feet, which x:i; }(,200 feet higher than Peterman , Peak. 2 Another day was spent in survey “before we moved the camp and sledges ~around the north end of Mount Forel ~to consider the northeast ridge. This Zridge was a definite climbing propo- Ssition. It entailed going down another 21,500 feet before starting to climb and there were many more ice slopes than Zon the southwest ridge. I These ice slopes were a peculiar and Sannoying feature of the mountain in 3this region. Elsewhere they would B AGNE LASTED TWO YEARS On Chest, Chin and Fore- head. Cuticura Healed. “‘Acne developed on my chest, chin.and forehead. The pimples 'were hard, large and red, and fes- tered and scaled over. Despite the fact that I used a number of products in an endeavor to rid myself of the, marring and painful blemishes they were of no avail. The trouble lasted two years. ““I read an advertisement for Cu-| ticura Soap and Ointment and sent| for g free sample of each. I pur- suane Ointment I was healed.” (Signed) Miss Charlotte Barth, 123 Sheridan Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. steps could be kicked, but here strong, cold winds converted the snow into ice of unsuitable texture for step-cutting. The climb would have taken two days at least and success was not cer- tain, so we went northwest for two days and climed a nunatak on the inland side of the big glacier. From the top of this at a_ height of 10,500 feet we had an excellent view of the mountains to the north, which form a wide belt stretching inland for 90 miles from the coast. There were many high peaks and ranges comparing very favorably in height with Forel, and one, which we named De Guervain's Peak, is a pos- sible rival of Forel. ‘The height of Forel was determined as 11,500 feet by theodolite observations based on origi- nal heights by the aneroid and hypho- meter. : Turn Back to Base. On May 30 we turnzd our course southward and reached the base after 12 days of traveling, having covered a total distance of 383 miles. During our elght days at Forel, apart from our at- tempts on Forel itself, we climbed four U. S.

We traveled by night twice, but snowshoes were still necessary, so we changed back again, since it was more pleasant traveling by day. The sun only went below the horizon for 2%, hours dally, during which time ‘r{: had a’ continuous sunset and sun- e. ‘The journey was completed with an enjoyable walk to the base from the glacier over good solid rock and Alpine flowers, birds, and the sound of run- niug water provided a pleasant contrast to the ice cap. ‘The three men who made the record ascent on Mount Forel, Greenland, be- long to the British Arctic Air Route expedition, whose leader, H.
