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.

The Alps by Arnold Henry Moore Lunn Pdf

His blend included scientific accuracy with emotional clarity. The above along with an excellent bibliography make this book an excellent starting off point for people fascinated by mountains and particularly the Swiss Alps.His reference to Algernon Blackwood demonstrated to me the breadth of his understanding of people and these mountains. The Swiss Alps were, arguably, the life of Arnold Lunn.

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.

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 by W. A. B. Coolidge Pdf

Excerpt from The Alps: In Nature and History The following pages are not intended to be either an exhaustive description of the Alps or a series of impressions of travel amongst them. But they do claim to offer to the reader an account of the most interesting features presented by the Alps from several points of view, and an account that is based on the personal experiences of over forty years' wandering through almost every district of the great chain. No attempt has been made to explain how the Alps came into being, or how in the course of long ages their outlines and valleys may have changed. They are taken as they exist in the early twentieth century, and treated as practically unchangeable. In the early chapters they are looked at from the physical side, - their extent, their pastures, their glaciers, their flowers, and their beasts and birds being successively described. Then we come to Man in the Alps, first man in himself as a human being actually inhabiting various districts of the chain, speaking divers languages, and professing several forms of belief, and next man as the subject of political vicissitudes of history, which naturally have affected his home as well as himself. In particular, an attempt has been made to trace out the political or territorial history of the chief summits of the Alps.

The Alps in 1864 by Adolphus Warburton Moore Pdf

Excerpt from The Alps in 1864: A Private Journal IN writing this Preface I complete, not without regret, a pleasant task which has occupied much of my spare time during the last three years. For many years a copy of Moore's Journal of 1864 has been the most valued book in my own Alpine Library. The Alps in 1864 was, however, never published. I believe that only about one hundred copies were printed - these were presented by Moore to his personal friends, so that the work has remained hitherto practically inaccessible to general readers. It seemed to me a pity that the ever-growing circle of those who take an interest in Mountaineering - whether active or only academic - should not have an Opportunity of reading a book which is truly, as the Editor of the Alpine Journal said at the time of Moore's death, 'one of the most vivid and fascinating books of Alpine travel which have ever been written.' In reply to my request, Mr. Moore's family were good enough not only to give me permission to reprint the Journal of 1864, but also to place at my disposal several manuscript volumes of later Journals which had been preserved, and of which I have been able to make much use.

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.
