| Summary: | The author for the report is unknown but it was most likely written by Victor Josendal or one of his companions on the trip. The introduction of the Kink Peak-Yukon Expedition Report states "One objective of the King Peak-Yukon Expedition was to gain information on this particular section of the St. Elias Range that would be helpful to future climbers. This we hope will encourage other groups to organize adventures into this or other regions similar in nature." The report contains sections with information on the group equipment used for the trip, the personal equipment, food and first aid supplies, along with descriptions of the surrounding environment. These lists are further broken down into categories like "Entertainment" under which cribbage sets and small checker sets are listed and "Emergency Kit" which includes items such as a compass and map, twine and wire and "aluminum foil for cooking, signalling, etc. 10'' x 10.''"
