ALT Historic black-and-white photograph of a large multi-story brick academic building with tall windows and classical architectural details. A grassy lawn and sidewalk run alongside the building, while a long stairway on the left leads up a hill to another campus building in the background. Mature trees frame the scene, and an early automobile is visible near the center of the image.

ALT This photo was taken by Canadian mountaineer Dave Parfitt on top of Mt. Thor on August 7, 1966. WSU alumni John Roskelley and Chris Kopczynski stand next to the stone cairn they built to prove they had made it to the top. In 1965, one of the last unclimbed mountains in British Columbia was Mt. Thor. Located in the remote Gold Range of central British Columbia, it had rebuffed two previous Canadian attempts. For the third expedition attempt, the Kootenai Mountaineers of Nelson, British Columbia, asked the president of the Spokane Mountaineers (Bill Boulton) if the Spokane Mountaineers had “two strong rock climbers” who would join them on this pioneering expedition. Boulton choose Roskelley and Kopczynski to represent the club. They were just teenagers at the time. Roskelley was 17, and Kopczynski was 18. They made the trip to Canada and made the climb to the top. "For me, this climb cemented my passion for mountain exploration," Kopczynski says.
