No person attending can bring more than forty pounds of baggage. If in excess of that amount they will be refused transport until the weight has been reduced to the required limit. Baggage should be as light as possible, and should consist of two pairs of blankets, weighing about fifteen pounds, a small feather pillow, a change of clothes and boots, toilet articles, etc. No trunks or boxes can be handled.
Those climbing require heavily soled leather boots, well set with Hungarian nails. Knickerbockers, puttees, sweater and knockabout hat furnish the most serviceable costume.
No lady climbing, who wears skirts, will be allowed to take a place on a rope, as they are a distinct source of danger to the entire party. Knickerbockers or bloomers with puttees or gaiters and sweater will be found serviceable and safe.
Each member who intends to climb should bring a pair of colored glasses. Colored mica glasses are suggested. These can be bought from any druggist at about 50c. per pair.
As the number of persons who can attend the camp is limited to one hundred, you are requested to notify the Secretary of the Committee (Mr. H. G. Wheeler, Banff, Alberta,) as soon as possible. The applications to attend will be accepted in the order in which they are received, due allowance being made for distance.
Please state on what date you will arrive at Field and for how many days you will remain in camp.
On arriving at Field, all whose applications have been accepted, will be supplied with Club badges. Persons unable to produce their badges will not be afforded transportation to the camp.
An endeavor will be made to obtain reduced rates from the Canadian Pacific Railway, and if successful those booked to attend will be duly notified.
