Excerpt from Sierra Club Bulletin, Vol. 2: 1897-1899 Our route lay up this valley. To the left of the moun tain wall, known to us as Mt. Green, * thrusting its imposing mass between the Green and the Mitre Glaciers, stood the goal of our anticipated effort, Mt. Lefroy. Up its eastern face, fronting us, - a snow-corniced precipice, falling four thousand feet to the Mitre Glacier, - it is safe to say that man will never go. The northern face, on the ot er hand, offered, as we knew, one possible line of ascent. From where we stood, its prohle showed a varying slope, inclined at an angle of about thirty-five degrees, steepest in its mid dle part, ending below in a line of clifl's eight hundred feet high, which overlook the Green Glacier. In this line of clifl's a re-entrant angle held an unseen but well-remembered tongue of snow, rising with ever-increasing gradient to within a comparatively short distance of their summit. Above, two rock chimneys offered a passage, possible but at the time of our former visit quite impracticable, to this upper slope. But the rising sun warned us to hasten. Already its rays touched and glorified the snowy apex of Mt. Green, - a Pythian oracle, read by us as a prophecy of success. It was a quarter past six as our boat pushed out from the floating wharf; it was a quarter of seven as its keel grounded in the sand of the delta at the head of the lake.
