The previously unclimbed eastern arete, from the Anzacs to just below the second peak of Mount Cook, lias been conquered. Messrs L. V. Bryant, of the staff of the Wnitaki Boys’ High School, and C. L. Mahan, of the staff of the Timnni Boys’ High School, have added this to their lengthy' list of achievements. Mr Bryant, who took part in the 1935 Everest Reconnaissance Expedition, and who is a member of the Alpine Club, London, the Himalayan Club nnd the New Zealand Alpine Club, attempted the eastern arete of Mount Cook five years ago with Mr Mahan, who is a member of the Alpine Club. They reached 10,000 ft, when bad weather forced them back. On the recent occasion, in spite of' an eight hours’ wait on the Linda Glacier, they pioneered the new route in 23 hours.
