My Dad, Don Moody, came upon this information on Lighthouse Tower. He was active climbing in the "Rat Lakes" in the early 1950's. He says the paper in the photograph was left by them. He also has stories of attempting Mt Stuart once with Pete Schoening. There was a ton of snow so they were slow, then Schoening had to leave for the K2 climb. Unfortunately he also took the rope. My dad says they got up to the false summit but there was so much snow, that without a rope, they didn't want to traverse. Lots of stories. I followed some of his climbs much, some are captured in my Climbing Photos,
