Mannering (1862-1947) was a New Zealand banker, mountaineer and writer. He was born on a sheep station in North Canterbury and educated at Christ's College, Christchurch. At 15 he left school to work on the farm but soon decided the work didn't suit him, so in May 1878 he joined the Rangiora branch of the Union Bank of Australia, staying with the bank throughout his working life, and eventually becoming manager of several branches. Inspired by Irishman W S Green's attempt in 1882 to climb Mt Cook, Mannering determined the Southern Alps should be conquered by a New Zealander and so, with little experience and no alpine equipment, he teamed up in March 1886 with a cousin in the first attempt on Mt Cook by a native of the country. The pair failed but, undeterred, Mannering learnt all he could about climbing and spent most summers over the next ten years exploring the Mt Cook region with other enthusiasts. He made a number of successful climbs and attempted Mt Cook five more times, getting to within 200 feet of the summit in 1890, but was frustrated in his goal on each occasion. The summit was finally reached in 1894 by a group og New Zealanders led by T C Fyfe. In 1897 he left Christchurch and his most active period of climbing was over, although aged 60 he scaled many peaks in the Swiss Alps, and, back in NZ, celebrated his 70th and 79th birthdays climbing Mt Torlesse in Canterbury. With this book, published in 1891, and in articles for newspapers and alpine journals, he attempted to foster an interest in the new sport of alpine climbing among sceptical New Zealanders, emphasising the challenge and the satisfaction gained from contact with an unexplored natural environment. He further encouraged mountaineering by helping to form the NZ Alpine Club, serving in a range of roles, and in 1935 was made an honorary life member of both this and the Alpine Club in London. The book is illustrated with photographs throughout.

Excerpt from Climbs in the New Zealand Alps: Being an Account of Travel and DiscoveryI may here mention that the inn known to my readers as the Hermitage is now once more opened to the public; nor will future tourists be forced, as I was, to dwell in tents or to grapple with the problem of baking bread in the wilderness.Since a rough track has been cut on the new Pass to the West Coast, an easy day's tramp leads from the ice-bound fastnesses of the Tasman valley down to the tree-ferns, the lianas, and the surf-beaten shore of the Pacific Ocean.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
