Identification from ms. list: Mountain climbing. Identification from another copy or source: Facile decensus Clarence King. [GEH.] An alternate reading beginning "Facilis ascensus" has also been suggested, but the original pencil caption has been obscured by later ink, making an accurate transcription difficult.
