the water was at a fairly high level and the effect, as it tumbled over the ledges in sheets of foam and flying spray, was picturesque in the extreme. It was seldom that members of the Camp were not to be found at this spot, and especially was it the haunt of the exponent of the camera.
Taken as a whole the Second Annual Camp of the Alpine Club was a brilliant success and much advancement was made in the science of mountaineering. The peaks climbed were of a more difficult type, and a keeness and zest were shown for work that was most pleasing. Added to this the full attendance throughout the week spoke for the popularity of the work being done by the Club, and the fact that many of the members there hailed from other countries proclaimed the worth of the Canadian Rockies as a field for alpine research and recreation.
