Time Traveller: Hanging out atop a North Vancouver mountain in 1923

Snapping a photo on a North Shore mountain peak was as cool 100 years ago as it is today

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 Vancouver 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.
