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.
