This early collection on mountaineering includes articles that would be
both expensive and hard to find. It contains a wealth of information on
the early attempts to scale Mont Blanc, and includes photographs and
histories of the brave men involved. This is a fascinating work and
highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of
mountaineering. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.
