F205-4.003 - "The dining tent, 1917"

After a hard day's climb, who could ask for more than dinner with friends? This photo from the "dining tent" in 1917 was likely from one of the BC Mountaineering Club's summer expedition camps.

Chatting around the table, they were likely planning their next day. But were they also thinking of how they would like to name peaks, or sharing stories of other climbs? It must have been meals like these that cemented many lifelong friendships within the club.
