Wyoming Mountaineers at Casper College Collection, 1946 - 1960

These photographs are from the Wyoming Mountaineers of Casper College collection covering the years from 1955 through 1958. The WMCC was established by Albert "Walt" Bailey in the 1950s to give Casper College students the opportunity to go rappelling and learn about climbing techniques for a semester as an extracurricular activity. Walt himself was an avid outdoorsman and an outstanding mountaineer who grew the WMCC from a few interested students to a wide range of diverse people coming together to climb and enjoy adventures that spanned several states. From the Red Rocks on Casper Mountain and Devils Tower in Northeastern Wyoming to the Horn at Shiprock in Colorado, these students got to experience incredible views and captivating climbs while in the WMCC.
