First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Photographs (illustrator). First Edition. Dust jacket in protective sleeve, price clipped, large pieces missing, wear to edges. Blue cloth fading and wear to edges. No ownership marks. Frontis plate. 208 pages clean and tight. THE AUTHOR, who has been Editor of the Alpine Journal for several years, was elected to the Alpine Club as a young man and, with the exception of two war periods, has paid almost annual summer visits to the Alps. While still at school he was introduced to mountaineering by Mr. R. L. G. Irving, who himself was the mountain teacher of George Mallory. The lessons of early days are the foundation of the author's mountain outlook, which has been developed through many years of companionship with Mr. Irving. It is this outlook, rather than precise narrative of sensational expeditions, which gives the character of Mountain Paths. Whereas many mountain books concern themselves largely with topographical detail, Mr. Tyndale aims rather at giving a general . picture in the framework of selected expeditions and comparing the main features of various districts in the Alps. Certain personalities, well known to mountaineers, appear in these pages, notably 1)r. Kugy, the Carinthian mountaineer, whose friendship introduced the author to the Eastern Alps and to an understanding of the Austrian attitude to mountains. Mont Blanc, the mountains around Aosta, the Pennine Alps, and the Bernese Oberland occupy the foreground, while in the later chapters the Julian Alps, a district little known to English readers, are treated with Dr. Kugy as the central figure. The background to the whole book is not only the mountains themselves but the literature of mountaineering, which has adde so greatly to the dignity of the sport. Size: 8vo.
