Title	Approaching camp, Mount McKinley, 1932.
Description	Title by indexer. Caption on verso says, "LaV. 1932." Image shows three members of the Lindley-Liek expedition approaching two tents near the head of Muldrow Glacier. The Lindley-Liek Expedition made the first successful ascent of both peaks of Mount McKinley in 1932. They encountered this empty camp, belonging to Theodore Koven and Allen Carpe of the Cosmic Ray Expedition, on their descent down the mountain. The body of Theodore Koven was found frozen in the snow nearby. It was presumed that Carpe fell down a crevasse on Muldrow Glacier as his body was never found. Lindley-Liek Expedition members were Alfred D. Lindley, Harry J. Liek, Erling Strom and Grant Pearson. Liek (Superintendent) and Pearson (Ranger) were staff of Mt. McKinley National Park. Merl LaVoy was photographer on the expedition. Indexer's information from cataloger's notes and "Mount McKinley: Icy crown of North America" by Fred Beckey (1993).
