The OSC Mountain Club was established in 1947 to promote and sponsor skiing and mountain climbing activities. In addition to outings, it also organized instruction classes, films and lectures. One of the founders of the club was Willi Unsoeld, who became one of the first Americans to scale Mt. Everest in 1963. This photograph was used on the cover of the December 1950 Oregon Stater.
