Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties
The 1970s saw a refocusing of the club's activities from large mountains and expeditions to more local technical climbs. Through the 1980s, members of the club continued to publish the journal and climb throughout New England, publishing in 1984 a climber's guide to Mount Katahdin in Maine. In 1989, founder Henry Hall, still a regular fixture at club events, died.
During the nineties, the club recorded less exploratory activity. The nineties were notable for the building of two, small bouldering walls in the club's space at Claverly Hall, and the publication of a 70th anniversary retrospective journal in 1994.

Famous quotes containing the word nineties:
“Here also was made the novelty ‘Chestnut Bell’ which enjoyed unusual popularity during the gay nineties when every dandy jauntily wore one of the tiny bells on the lapel of his coat, and rang it whenever a story-teller offered a ‘chestnut.’”
—Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
