Don Conrad went on to establish the Stuckagain Heights Rope Tow in Anchorage.

Back in the mid 60's, Don Conrad put a lift on the glacier at Alyeska for a summer racing camp. It was a metal cable with attached "J" shaped metal supports to lean back on.  We rode the chairlift up to the Roundhouse, then hiked up the ridge along the North Face every day to train.

That lift was also used uphill of the Roundhouse. We just called it the Mighty Mite.

[Don Conrad's} wife at the time of the summer camp tripped and fell on her boot tree (they were metal then) and gashed her shin pretty bad.

Also during that camp, my brother Albert fell into a crevasse and was successfully rescued.

I believe Bruce Fenn was there because I remember his dad George before he was killed in a helicopter crash. Seems to me he was a surveyor.

Probably all the Mighty Mites at the time were there ; don't know about the Simaskos, but Garrett Walker,  maybe Matt Tanaka...

I remember being so sunburnt that we swelled up around our eyes...
