Prof. Brode Scales Mt. Rainier Peak Mount Rainier is America's Tall est Perpetually Snow Capped Peak Batthng his way over a wilderness of ice, across bottomless crevasses and along rocky ledges at the very edge of inhnity, to three miles above sea-level, Malcolm ). drode, of the botany department of the University of south Carolina, Co lumbia, reached the summit of Mount Rainier, 14,408 feet high, and America's tallest perpetuaily snow-capped peak, in Rainier Natiunal 'l'ark, Wnshington, a few days ago. Rainier is rated bv mountaineers to be pne of the most ditticut mountains in the world to scale. Prospective climbers, therefore, are subjected to a thorough medrtal examination before permission to attempt the ascent is given and atter it has been completed. Professor Brode began his climb from Paradise itm, 5,55/ teet above sea-level, 3 where he had gone for the purpose or scaling the famous peak. He and his : party left the inn shortly alter 3 in the C3 afternoon, and Camp Muir, the govern C4 ment shelter cabins at the 10,UUU-toot level, halt way up, was reached at 9 p. m. At Camp .\1urir the party rested and C slept until 6 the next morning, when C4 the drive for the summit was begun. hrst in the eerie moonlight, and later $ in the rising sun, they ptlshed on, arriv ing at the crater of the mountaim at about 8:It a. in. An indication of the diticulty ot the almib may be gained from the tact that the party neared the summit, only 15 or 211 steps could be taken between rests. They were forced to rest standimg, as reclining in the snow and rising again would consume too much greatly-needed energy. The party spent only a quarter of an hour in the tantastic steam caves in the crater of the not-quite-extinct volcano. t'he re,urn trip was begun at 8:30 and 'aradhse V alley was reached at Z p. ml. after a switt descent. - I'ro1.
