IN producing "Cambridge Mountaineering" we feel that some explaination is due. The Journal this year differs from other previous joint University productions insomuch as it is more purely a domestic publication, and is intended less for general reading than for members of the C.U.M.C. If it should be read outside the University we can only hope that it will meet with that forbearance shown to its more ambitious predecessors.
It is hoped that this journal will not in any way predjudice the continuance of the "Oxford and Cambridge Mountaineering" series.
We wish
to thank the Alpine Club for the loan of blocks; Capt. J. P. Farrar for
help in proof reading; Mr. S. Spenser for his photograph of the Verte,
and , finally, Mr. P. D. Thomas for his help with the advertising.
