Monday May 27. Tom shawed in morning & a slight air at night fell. Pack of Pete under a driving wind all day. Left camp with my two boys at 7:20 I returned at 4:10 - nearly nine hours without food or water. A difficult mountain. It is difficult to climb from the west. Often what looks like a good approach from HIMALAY. The ridge to the SSE (continuation of the backbone range) appears to be very narrow & of a down. I caught only partial glimpses of it. It was cloudy about the weather when I left camp. At 9 o'clock, when I was near the 2000 ft. level, rain began & for 30 minutes we sheltered under a pocketcloth carried for the purpose. Decided to turn back; I started to collect. At 10:10 The weather looked like taking up, so I resumed. To ascend - it is for gradual ascent of the way to be called a climb. Passed Lioneli Tookout at 10:15 (one seen of all from them on way up, but four signatures of HIMALAY Bay (?) on way down in afternoon). By far point of the 23rd (about 2200 ft.) reached at 10:30. From him travelled slowly, marching to the shroud (cloud) for Methoagel, which I could not find. I reached The summit (2650 ft.) (How we met in camp) at 11:00 o'clock. Only a few pretty Thick puncher. Taking one turn, the ascent could be made in about 1 hour & 30 or 40 minutes from camp, including rest stops. On the way up, Lacydium flori appeared at 8:30 (c. 1500 ft.) I ascended to Lioneli Tookout (c. 2000 ft.). There, small-rammed oaks formed a small strip of pure forest in the narrow, very clayey open crest at about 1600 ft. & were not seen elsewhere. A patch of giant Larches from a small saddle under Lioneli Tookout perhaps dicates. Eichhorni camp site of 1215 on a stone cobb. Between my Tookout of the 23rd & the summit the forest is low, more or less windblown & about 15-20 ft. high fairly heavily marked. Two slender tree-forms (By a tree) collected there. A sole fatter-boned pine (recalling them) was seen. The mountain of Monastery & Fergusson, is ascended through the usual & easy pass when one walks over the crest, but was not to collectable condition. On the summit, the scent apparently was low enough to be called shrubbing, but it had been completely wrecked by Riant's two boys yesterday. Leucadia, (only a bit of ground about 30 ft. across on top). From the appearance of its wreckage, it
