Excerpt from The Making of a Mountaineer Man's heritage is great. There are the mountains; he may climb them. Mountaineering is a game second only to the greatest and best of all man's games - life. The War all but dried up the steady stream of youthful and enthusiastic devotees who kept alive and fresh the pursuit of mountain-craft. But fresh blood is as essential to the healthy life of mountaineering as it is to any other game, craft or pursuit, and, fortunately, there are cheerful signs that the after-effects of the War are fast becoming Spent. Our youth is beginning to find the dancing floor, the tennis court and the playing fields of Great Britain too narrow, too lacking in scope, perhaps also a little bit too soft; and the craving grows for wider fields and a sterner, freer pastime. It is primarily for the members of the younger generation that this book has been written, in the hopes that, by affording them a glimpse of the adventurous joys to be found in the mountains, they may be encouraged to take up and try for themselves the pursuit of mountaineering. Portions of Chapters II and XVIII have appeared in the Climber's Club journal, Chapter VIII in the British Ski Year Book, and Chapters XIV and XVI in the Alpine journal. Where not otherwise stated, the illustrations are from photographs by the Author. In conclusion, I would like to thank Captain T. G. B. Forster for the loan of four photographs; Mr. A. B. Bryn for one photograph; Mr. R. H. K. Peto for the pen-and-ink sketch of the east face of Monte Rosa and the drawing of an ice-axe; my brother for Chapter VIII; and last, but not least, my wife for her contribution, Chapter XII, and for the tireless pains she has taken in assisting me with the preparation and correction of the manuscript and proofs. I also wish to place on record my appreciation of what I owe to the inspiration and example of the Alpine journal and of Mr. Geoffrey Winthrop Young, and to the inspiring influence of Miss P. Broome.

Excerpt from The Complete Mountaineer About two years ago the publishers thought it desirable that mountaineering should be brought into line with our other national sports. In other words, they decided to publish a work entitled, "The Complete Mountaineer," uniform with their other well-known "Complete Series." This accounts for the apparently presumptuous title of this book, and the author craves pardon for what his brother climbers might well describe as an impossible pitch. No one is aware of the difficulty and resultant shortcomings of the undertaking more than the author; but he feels that the outcome of his personal experience, both in technical matters and on the mountains themselves, may prove of service and interest to the largely increasing public who find their greatest pleasure in the high places of the earth. In the technical sections no lengthy attempt has been made to explain or teach details that can only be learnt in actual practice on the mountains, and in charge of more or less experienced friends. When dealing with the various districts, the author has, for the most part, so arranged the information culled from his own actual expeditions, that each chapter may prove useful to those who are making a first visit to the regions dealt with. As far as possible, second-hand opinions, which in mountaineering are notoriously contradictory and conflicting, have been avoided, and the actual personal experiences of a somewhat strenuous climbing career form the bulk of the book. The ways of some modern mountaineers and the regrettable results of their thoughtlessness make it necessary that a note of warning should be sounded.

Excerpt from Recollections of an Old Mountaineer As material for this book I have had my diaries of some twenty-six seasons, which were written up at the time. Having had to compress this long record into somewhat narrow limits, I have sacrificed rather the climbing part of my experiences than what might be of more interest to the general public. I can only hope that I have not made the climbing element too thin.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Mountaineering A perusal of the above paragraph might lead an unbiassed critic to conclude that this is not a favourable time for the publication of a book which could, by any possibility, tend to swell the number of Alpine climbers. I trust that I am right in thinking such a critic wrong. Mountaineering is one of the finest and healthiest exercises in the world, and, as such, it must command a continuous supply of recruits the important point is that those who do enter, and will continue to enter, its lists, should understand the principles which alone make it a justifiable recreation.
