Book Description Condition: Good. Softcover without dust jacket. Cover with some wear to corners, edges and edges of head and tail of spine. Pages clean and bright with over 100 engraving by the author. In an age when the highest of mountains are almost routinely climbed, it is worthwhile to look back a little more than a century to find a classic of mountaineering lore about the Golden Age of climbing in the Alps and the first successful climb in 1865 of the most alluring peak in Europe, the Matterhorn. His notes hauntingly portray the heroic and sublime experiences of climbing mountains. First published in 1871. Seller Inventory # 11726
