Swenson and a number of others had spent much time ipon the old peak even before that time. Several men from Pleasant Grove and American Fork also had Bade several actual hikes to the top f the peak before She first annual hike was inaugurated by "Tlmpa-nogos- " Roberts, but It remained for Mr. Roberts, who had recently returned from the Alps, to actually organize the companies and to ma'e the trips genuine outings of a group.
