Kenneth Henderson
1905-2001

The memory of our own Kenneth Henderson, who died at ninety-six in September, was celebrated in Lebanon Center, NH on October 13th. Ken was a founding member of the Harvard Mountaineering Club and is perhaps best known for his 1942 "Handbook of American Mountaineering". He was on the first ascent of Mt. Owen, second highest in the Tetons, and first on the East Ridge and Direct Exum routes on the Grand.

See Bill Clack's Appreciation of the Life of Ken Henderson (1905-2001)
