Mazamas Mount Hood Outing, July 15–29, 1912
"The annual encampment at Mount Hood from July 15 to 29, 1912, is to be included among the best of the 19 annual outings conducted by the Mazamas since the organization of the club. The camp was located a short distance from Cloud Cap Inn, in a grove of sub-alpine trees and convenient to the mountain. The largest number of people in camp at one time was 125. The official climb on July 22 was participated in by 65 persons, who were joined on the summit by a large party of climbers from the south side of the mountain, conducted by the Portland YMCA. The record time of one hour and fifty-seven minuted from Cloud Cap Inn to the summit was made on this day by George Riddle. He left the Inn at four o'clock in the morning and planted the Mazama flag on the summit at 5:57 [a.m.]."
