Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Excerpt: .towards the Glacier de Saleinoz, on the other towards the Glacier du Chardonnet. Under any circumstances, it would have been a stiff piece of work to clamber up that way. Prudence and comfort counselled, 'Give it up.' Discretion overruled valour. Moore and Almer crossed the Col du Chardonnet to go to Orsières, and we others returned towards Chamounix. But when we got some distance down, the evil spirit which prompts men to ascend mountains tempted us to stop, and to look pg 190 back at the Aiguille d'Argentière. The sky was cloudless; no wind could be felt, nor sign of it perceived; it was only eight o'clock in the morning; and there, right before us, we saw another branch of the glacier leading high up into the mountain-far above the Col du Chardonnet-and a little couloir rising from its head almost to the top of the peak. This was clearly the right route to take. We turned back, and went at it. The glacier was steep, and the snow gully rising out of it was steeper. Seven hundred steps were cut. Then the couloir became too steep. We took to the rocks on its left, and at last gained the ridge, at a point about 1500 feet above the Col du Chardonnet. We faced about to the right, and went along the ridge; keeping on some snow a little below its crest, on the Saleinoz side. Then we got the wind again; yet no one thought of turning, for we were within 250 feet of the summit. The axes of Croz and Couttet went to work once more, for the slope was about as steep as snow-slope could be. Its surface was covered with a loose, granular crust; dry and utterly incoherent; which slipped away in streaks directly it was meddled with. The men had to cut through this into the old beds underneath, and to pause incessantly to rake away the powdery stuff, which poured down in hissing streams over the hard substratum. Ugh! how cold it was! How the wind blew! Couttet's hat was torn from its fastenings, and went on a tour in Switzerland. The flour-like snow, 118 pp. Englisch.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Hardback, NOT ex-library. Rebacked: original boards retained but a later, basic spine. Some attempt has been made to match the colour but it is a little crude. Front board (darker than the photo shows) with gilt image of the Matterhorn surrounded by a gilt line border and with four different snowflakes represented. Both boards discoloured and a little marked. Bevelled edges with corners scuffed. Inner hinges cracked, from the rebacking but binding firm. Large (slightly curious) inscription dated 1880 to the half-title. Contents generally toned. Periodic, light marking to the text. Several page corners creased. 14 full page plates and 91 in-text illustrations (various artists). Two folding maps to the rear, the larger with a small marginal tear, but correctly folded. 325pp. The Ascent of The Mattterhorn (1880), is classed by Neate (W65) as the 3rd edition, abridged, of 'Scrambles Amongst The Alps', rather than a true first edition. The 1880 can be called a "first, thus", i.e. the first issue in this version. This is relevant, in that the text deals with Whymper's exploits in and around the Alps and not just with the Matterhorn attempts. One of the most famous of Alpine books, not least for Whymper's account of the final moments on the descent from the Matterhorn, the text is full of the author's opinions and forthright comments regarding all aspects of climbing. The illustrations add drama to the text and certainly there is a fair degree of artistic and dramatic license in some the depictions. Further information available on request. (Uc5).
