Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ski-Runs in the High Alps In 1905, when nearer fifty than forty, had I not been the happy father of a girl of seven I should have had no occasion to write this book. I bought, for her to play with, a pair of small ski in deal, which I remember cost nine francs. For myself I bought a rough pair, on which to fetch and bring her back to shore if the small ship foundered. No sooner had I equipped myself, standing, as a Newfoundland dog, on the brink of the waves, ready to rescue a child from snow peril, than I was born again into a ski-runner. Since, I have devoted some of my spare time to revisiting - in winter - the passes and peaks of Switzerland. The bringing of the ski to Switzerland ushered in the "New Mountaineering," of which a few specimens seek in these pages the favour of the general public.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Man on the High Alps On the intimation of the acquiescence of the Ministry I went to Ivrea where the Alpine regiment was stationed. My errand being made known, a number of soldiers immediately offered to join the expedition to the glaciers of Monte Rosa. I shall often have occasion to mention by name those who accompanied me I take, however, this early opportunity of remarking that their behaviour and discipline were worthy of all praise, and of giving expression to my feelings of admiration for the sterling qualities of these humble comrades of mine, to whom likewise my heartiest thanks are due. The first month, from the roth of June to the 11th of July, 1894, was devoted to preliminary researches with the object of ascertaining the physio logical conditions of the soldiers. As it was necessary to know what was their power of resistance to fatigue at ordinary elevations, I let them march with arms and baggage from Ivrea to Turin, a distance of 60 kilometres. I had purposely chosen some soldiers who were very strong and others of average strength: these I divided into two squads. I started with one squad and made the ascent at a slow rate of progress, about metres per week. The other division climbed up to the summit of Monte Rosa rapidly, em ploying only three days, the rest being by that time installed in the Regina Margherita Hut, awaiting their arrival. This arrangement was made with the intent of discovering the effect of slow and rapid changes of altitude on the organism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures in the Alps In his own way, the Author has visited many of the accessible spots in the High Alps and has fully entered into the atmosphere of grandeur, beauty, romance and adventure which makes this region without a rival. It is but natural to wish that others might share in the pleasures to be enjoyed there and to have a better understanding of many places, more often seen than fully appreciated. This little work therefore is not a guide-book or a history of climbing or a record of personal experiences, although it may be somewhat of all these, but it aims simply to picture some of those things which make Switzerland so beautiful and fascinating and to enable one to enter into the treasures of the snow.
