Excerpt from Wanderings Among the High Alps It has always appeared to me that ladies might see much more of the grander scenery of the High Alps than they usually do and it will be a pleasure to me, if I have succeeded in showing, by the instances recorded in the following pages, how much it is really practicable, with due care and suficient precautions, for one of the gentler sex to undertake. The expedition which forms the subject of Chapter II is as feasible for any other lady, as for the lady who actually performed it - who is a fair, but by no means a particularly good, walker.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ...we met the lengthening shadows of the setting sun, cast upon us from the Gornergrat and the Hochthaligrat; then, at last, we pulled off our spectacles, and had the pleasure of an uninterrupted view of the beautiful scenes around us. Still, not a cloud was visible, in the whole expanse of the blue and transparent sky. We descended very rapidly, till we came to a zig-zag path above the valley of St. Nicholas, when I reminded the cure of the chase he had led us, last year, in descending upon Tasch, and challenging him to another race, started off full pelt down the steep mountain side, through a thick wood of larch and fir, with the whole train at my heels. We gave Cachat another warming, at which the cure again made himself merry; and, after some hairbreadth escapes of severe falls, over stumps of trees and holes and blocks of stone, we all found ourselves in tht valley in an incredibly short space of time. We cam down many hundreds of feet, in almost as little time as ii has taken to record it. We had still a pleasant stroll o a quarter of an hour over the meadows, and reachec Zermatt comfortably at a little before seven, haviri occupied nine hours in the descent. No better illustration can be given of the extent to which the difficulties and dangers of an Alpine pass depend upon the state of the snow and the weather, than was afforded by our passages of the Allelein glacier and of the Col Iinseng. The risks of the approach to the Allelein glacier, which, in 1852, appeared formidable even to experienced guides, had all but vanished in 1853; the dangers often arising from hidden crevasses had no existence; the serious fatigue of traversing the broad wastes of glacier, two or three feet deep in fresh or sodden snow, was reduced to that which...

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.

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.
