About this book
Accounts of famous Alpine climbs and their disasters fill this 1903 collection, put together for people who have never climbed. Mrs Aubrey Le Blond, a mountaineer herself, gathers true narratives from earlier climbers and adds four chapters of her own on mountaineering, glaciers, avalanches and the guides of the Alps, so that non-climbers can follow the sport. Her preface argues that climbing builds perseverance, teamwork and presence of mind. The book is dedicated to Edward Whymper, who generously supplied material for some of its most striking pieces.
