C.L. Chester (1919)
Could you sit down hard on a glacier eighty feet thick - and smile? The sweet young mountain climber in this picture has her own methods for getting up on jagged crags and towering peaks. But she gets there triumphantly - and smiles, smiles, smiles! That's how the film was commercially presented. The girl was a young tourist lady who buys a sweet mountaineering costume, hires two Swiss guides, and embarks on an ascension to Mount Assiniboine. A story written by Katherine Hilliker and produced by C.L. Chester in cooperation with Outing, 'the magazine of all outdoors'.- 1919

Mountaineering memories
C.L. Chester (1918)
A scenic record of the climb up to Mount Assiniboine, the 'American Matterhorn' in the Canadian Rockies. The team makes the approach on horseback and camps at the base of the mountain. A party of three men climb the mountain equipped with nailed boots, ropes and ice axes, crossing icefields and climbing steep rocks. The final scenes are the breathtaking views from the summit and of the majestic mountain reflected in the lake Magog. The film was produced as a part of a group of short-subject travelogues by C. L. Chester and Outing Magazine.- 1918
