I wish to extend my gratitude to Lowell Skoog chairman of the Mountaineers History and Library Committee along with the staff at the Mountaineers clubhouse in Seattle, who let me rummage thought the club's archives of magazines and guidebooks. Many thanks to the American Alpine Club Library staff who responded to my numerous requests to mail guidebooks to me. Also thanks for the cooperation of the staff at the University of Washington Libraries-Special Collections Branch, who allowed me to thumb through 10 containers of fragile summit register entries donated by the Mountaineers. My appreciation to Suzan Reiley for informing me about the availability of Dan Davis's climbing journal at the UW Special Collections Library. And I want to extend a special thanks to Ed Cooper and Mike Swayne for sharing part of their climbing journals with me. I also wish to express my gratitude to the following people:
