Taking a celebratory photo after summiting of one of the many peaks that make up the North Shore Mountains is a common practice for hikers today. But did you know that a century ago they were doing the exact same thing?
Pictured here are 12 members of the 麻豆传媒映画Section of the Alpine Club of Canada in September 1923 atop the Camel Head, a sub-summit of Crown Mountain.
The picture comes from an album of photographs taken by Beverly Cochrane Cayley, an amateur photographer and member of the club. Mount Cayley is named in his honour.
