A group of soldiers are trained in mountain climbing at Seneca Rocks during WWII.The back of the photo reads:"Some of Uncle Sam's soldiers will be able to vie with the best of the Swiss mountain climbers. A new phase of strenuous ground training for combat units really gives our fighting men something to sweat about. High up in West Virginia's mountains, men of the U.S. Army get a short tough course on how to overcome obstacles no matter how high. When the men complete the short period of training they're tops in their field. Under the best tutors and instructors in the art of scaling walls of sheer rock, they learn all there is to know about cliffs and mountains- except yodeling.PHOTO SHOWS: The going gets tougher and tougher the higher they get. Here a group of soldiers leave the thicket to begin the hard climb over sheer rock to reach the peak of Seneca Rock."
