Here and There Among the Alps (Classic Reprint) by Frederica Plunket Pdf

Excerpt from Here and There Among the Alps These sensational and highly exciting works have, however, one great disadvantage, they check the energies and chill the aspirations of moderate walkers. To 'ladies they are particularly discouraging. How are they to attempt the ascent of the horns or dents, or pointes or spitzes of which they read and hear, if they are beset with such dangers and difficulties? How are they to clamber up precipices, where at each step the treacherous rocks may break beneath their feet '9 How are they to walk on the knife-like edges of snow ridges, where a single false step would be destruction, or to descend the steep ice-s10pe, where a slip is fatal? They feel that to attempt such performances would be absolute madness, risk ing other lives as well as their own, and they lay aside the fascinating volume with a sigh, and regret fully confess that the high Alps are beyond their powers, and that they must content themselves with small expeditions, and mule paths at moderate ele vations.

The Alps (Classic Reprint) by Arnold Lunn Pdf

Excerpt from The Alps For the early chapters of this book I have consulted, amongst other authorities, the books mentioned in the bibliography on pp. 251- 254. It would, however, be ungracious if I failed to acknowledge my indebtedness to that most readable of historians, Mr. Gribble, and to his books, The Early Mountaineers (Fisher Unwin) and The Story of Alpine Climbing (Nelson). Mr. Gribble and his publisher, Mr. Unwin, have kindly allowed me to quote passages translated from the works of the pioneers. Two friends, experts in the practice and history of mountaineering, have read the proofs and helped me with numerous suggestions.

Excerpt from Songs of the Alps A Memory There dwells in my heart Full many a song, That sings to my soul When the days are long.

My Home in the Alps (Classic Reprint) by Mrs. Main Pdf

Excerpt from My Home in the Alps In this little volume, much of the matter in which first appeared in the St. Moritz Post, or, as it is now called, the Alpine Post, I have jotted down a few things of interest to the ordinary traveller in Switzerland. To climbers, my notes will be but a thrice-told tale, and one which, doubtless, many of them could tell far better, while not a few of them have already told it elsewhere. The idea of publishing these trifling papers came to me through the necessity of replying to many questions on the subjects to which I refer; for, living as I do in Switzerland, I naturally am supposed to be more familiar with the peculiarities of the country and people than is the ordinary tourist.

Tour Over the Alps and in Italy (Classic Reprint) by Albert Montèmont Pdf

Excerpt from Tour Over the Alps and in Italy Tm; following work contains much correct information; the occasional observations of a man of taste and learning, ad dressed to a congenial spirit upon the various materials which, with an easy elegance, in a clear and animated manner, he briefly analyses and examines. In addition to the acquisitions previously communicated by other meritorious writers, he has brought together many facts, characteristic and highly descriptive of the countries and their inhabitants, in the little scenes and incidents which awaited him - the little pleasing pictures which he happily sketches, scattered here and there through the letters.

Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860-69 (Classic Reprint) by Edward Whymper Pdf

Excerpt from Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860-69 In endeavouring to make the book of some use to those who may wish to go mountain-scrambling, whether in the Alps or else where, undue prominence, perhaps, has been given to our mistakes and failures; and it will doubtless be pointed out that our practice must have been bad if the principles which are laid down are sound, or that the principles must be unsound if the practice was good. The reason is obvious - we were not immaculate. Our blunders are not held up to be admired, or to be imitated, but to be avoided.

A Child of the Alps (Classic Reprint) by Margaret Symonds Pdf

Excerpt from A Child of the Alps The little town of Ilanz has a long and an illustrious his tory. It stands with all its wooden towers and bridges on the banks of the Upper Rhine. It has fine houses, nobly planned and painted Old churches, too', and many treasured archives. It has valuable orchards where some Of the finest fruit of all the Alps is ripened, and where the sweetest honey is gathered by the bees. Also, like many other little hidden cities, Ilanz is pleased with her own life and doings; and her people are a proud people, well-informed, and given to foreign commerce. But the party of English travellers who, late one summer evening, came hurrying back across the Alps from Italy, and who found themselves stranded here, so much against their wills and calculations, knew nothing of all these matters.

Summer Months Among the Alps by Thomas W. Hinchliff Pdf

Excerpt from Summer Months Among the Alps: With the Ascent of Monte Rosa The materials have been collected from a complete journal which I kept in 1855, when Mr. W. Dundas accompanied me throughout nearly the whole of the journey, and from notes taken and letters written in 1856, when, with my brother and a friend, I visited the valleys and mountain passes to the south and east of Monte Rosa, in addition to retracing my steps over a great deal of old ground. My object has been to describe, at some length, the grander and wilder features of the scenery, and some of the most interesting and exciting of the expeditions which I have had the good fortune to make successfully; passing over the less magnificent, but more beaten, routes with only such notice as is necessary to preserve the continuity of the march, and to enable a reader to follow my course without difficulty.
