EPHEMERA: Enclosed are a typed letter and a handwritten note concerning a fast ascent of Mount St Elias in 1980 (15 days) and what appears to be the first traverse of the peak to two climbers, Chris Pizzo and Rob Leutz. (Chris Pizzo was on the Everest The Testing Place ascent of Everest in 1981, the year after his Elias climb. So Logan and Everest in two years. Nice peak bagging!)
