It's at the end of the first paragraph of the report.  I suppose that's what being a member of a hiking/climbing club like the Mazamas was all about.  Can you imagine hiking down from Squaw Mtn on that day while they were going up and having to stand aside to let 87 people go by?   

I totally missed that - I guess I kind of skimmed that first paragraph!

That would be quite a long string of people.  That would be like hiking in the gorge!

That's why the Clackamas is such a gem. For those who know where to go, you probably won't see anybody on your hike, true paradise! I can't imagine waiting for 87 hikers to pass.
