_ A reminder of the very fine work that has been done by the Canterbury Mountaineering and Tramping Club in making the mountain country of Canterbury and Westland readily accessible to active young New Zealanders may be found, in the annual report of the club. It now controls 10 huts and four “bivvies,” some of them at high levels in the remote ranges and nearly all involving the “swagging” of building materials over many miles of rough, almost untracked mountain country. Another hut, the Rruce Banfield Memorial Hut is to be built at the head of Jagged stream, a tributary ©f the Rakaia, to give access to first-class climbing in the Arrowsmith range. That mountaineering will continue to grow in popularity, as it was doing before the war, is indicated by B r °wth of the club’s membership. Fifty new members were elected last year. W® ?» a ve a great responsibility new members make agraduated approach to difficult climbs, the report comments.
