ly made an unusually danger
ous ascent of Long’s peak,
the giant of the new Rocky
Mountain national park, and has
given details of the exploit In a letter
to a friend.
Long’s peak, which Is 14,255 feet
high, was considered uncllmbable for
many years. Its summit is reached by
passing from Boulder field, which lies
12,000 feet up. through an opening in
the rocky wall known as Keynole out
upon the side of a sharp-angled slope
covered with perpetual ice and snow,
which slants from near the summit far
down the mountain side to end in a
nearly precipitous drop of a good deal
more than a thousand feet Into Gla
cier gorge.
This Is called the Trough and It Is
ascended by steps cut In the ice and
snow, which are frequently obliterated
by fresh snowfalls and must be re
newed continually. So far, none of
the hardy scalers of the summit,
which include, by the way, an in
creasing number of women, has lost
control on this dangerous slope,
though stories are whispered of occa
sional slips caught Just in time.
Mr. Roper, while ascending the low
er levels, met four young men, two of
them with frozen feet, who had been
held overnight on the summit by a
snow squall obliterating the steps too
late in the day to enable them to cut
new ones on their descent.
