Photo by Bill Cramer JACK BRYCELAND ON MacLEOD PEAK by Neil Grainger MacLeod Peak was named for Alexander Harvey MacLeod. He was born Aug. 9, 1922 in Vancouver, elder son of Mrs. Beulah MacLeod and the late W. Ray MacLeod.

Educated at Lynn Valley School, Pouce-Coupe and Atchelitz. He attended Chilliwack High School and went on to senior matric in 1941. He worked on his uncle's farm in Atchelitz until his enlistment with the RCAF in August, 1942. McLeod graduated as a pilot at Vulcan, Alta. on Oct.

12, 1943 with the rank of flight sergeant. He received his commission overseas on Oct. 15, 1944 and was posted as missing the following day, Oct. 16. One year later, Pilot Officer MacLeod was presumed killed in action.

MacLeod Peak, elevation 7,200 feet, is located northwest of the Hope Slide, easily seen from Hope. It is sometimes mistaken for Mt. Outram. The guidebook describes a route up the south ridge, as a long, hard day. Jack Bryceland and Bill Cramer, on a very hot June 1, 1986, opted for a route from 8 Mile Creek and they too had a long, hard day.

Bryceland and Cramer are well-qualified hikers. Obviously, MacLeod Peak should not be attempted by inexperienced climbers. Bryceland's story follows: Gleig fakes crown intervening peaks to get to the far away one. And of course to get home you do all the ups and downs again. Had I known all these things before, I would have chosen to sleep late, eat a leisurely breakfast, and take my lounge chair and a good book up to Cultus Lake.

However, I had to go and find out the hard way. The Mountain Project is nearing the end of its mountain climbing phase with only 11 more trips to be completed. However, in reviewing my information, I find I have no information about Terry Jarvis, Les WrayorA. Conway. Anyone knowing of these veterans, please get in touch with me at 7954785 or leave word at the Chilliwack Museum.

As you drive into Hope from Chilliwack, MacLeod Peak is the sharpest peak dominating the eastern skyline. It is not just another bump rising above the Hope-Princeton Highway. To boot, it's protected by locked gates, overgrown roads, profuse devils club and slide alder. Our late spring and instant summer are still bringing down rocks and blocks of ice off the steep faces. The route from 8 Mile Creek is steep, rocky, exposed and not always obvious.

One peak which must be traversed does not appear on the map. The peak marked MacLeod on the map is not the highest one, but it is certainly the farthest away and you have to go up and down all the Some 248 players are registered for the 36-hole men's competition. Out-of-town club pros, including Quilchena's Cec Ferguson and touring pros, Ward Stouffer and John Fram, will vye for boasting rights. The men's event will run Saturday and Sunday, July 19-20. The women, meanwhile, will tee off on Friday (July 18) for their 18-hole open event.

Lepp, meanwhile, bogeyed the final hole and had to settle for second place. Sixteen players started out in the match play championship flight several weeks earlier. Chilliwack: Open Chilliwack Golf and Country Club will play host to the women's and men's Chilliwack Open golf tournaments, July 18-20. A par on the 36th hole was all Don Gleig needed to capture the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club championship played Friday, June 24. The 69-year-old Gleig trailed the entire day in the match play final against last year's champion, 23-year-old Rob Lepp.

But experience came through for Gleig as he turned around a two-hole deficit with three holes left. Bearing down on Lepp's heels, Gleig made a critical chip shot over a sand trap onto the 18th green, going down in par and winning one-up. Slopitch league ends The regular season for the East Chilliwack Mixed Slo-pitch League finished July 2, and for the first time this season, Rosedale Chevron was beaten by Stoney's Heating in a game that stretched to eight innings. After the third, Stoney's was down 124, but then held Chevron to three runs in the sixth while scoring four in the fourth, two in the fifth and five in the sixth to tie the contest. The winning run was scored when Chris Pedlar connected for a triple to drive in Jim Goodwin in the bottom of the eighth.

The top eight teams will meet in a round-robin playoff to decide the season winners, while the bottom seven teams will play a round-robin for the 'B' division trophies.

Delorme low net Paul Delorme of Sardis won the 1986 Anavets 305 golf tournament played at Aquadel Golf Course Sunday.
