Book Synopsis With Axe and Rope in the New Zealand Alps (Illustrated Edition) by : George Edward Mannering
Download or read book With Axe and Rope in the New Zealand Alps (Illustrated Edition) written by George Edward Mannering and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Mount Cook and Other Climbs: An Account of Four Seasons' Mountaineering on the Southern Alps of New Zealand Some of the material contained in this volume has appeared in The Otago Witness, The Christchurch Press, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Dupain Quarterly, and The Lone Hand Magazine. My thanks are due to the editors of these periodicals for their permission to reprint my articles in their present form. I am also greatly indebted to Dr. Teichelmann of Hokitika for the generous manner in which he has allowed me to reproduce specimens of West Coast scenery from his fine collection of photographs, and to Mr. Severn Storr for a picture of the Hermitage after the flood. I have attempted in my first chapter to give a slight summary of the climbing accomplished between 1862 and 1909. This record is necessarily incomplete, dealing as it does with only the main district surrounding Mount Cook. If by any chance I have overlooked any important incidents of the period I have chosen, I can only crave indulgence for my unintentional omissions on the ground of want of data. The history of New Zealand mountaineering is at present so slight and scattered that it is difficult to obtain reliable details.

Download or read book Southern Alps written by Alison Ballance and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a massive book - big in size and big in content. It's over 300 pages and includes about 300 images. Hardback and jacketed, it's a major natural history title. It's a celebration of the most phenomenal landform in New Zealand - the Southern Alps - the backbone of the country. This book tells the stories of the Southern Alps - the geology, the weather, the glaciers, the rivers, the flora, the fauna, the Maori history and European history. Alison Ballance tells these stories in an incredibly imaginative and yet methodical way. For example she tells the story of a snowflake and how over time it becomes a glacier; or she takes a tussock plant and describes how it fits into the complex botanic community of the alps. The result is a very readable and accessible natural and human history that is also beautifully written - a ground breaking title in the New Zealand natural history genre. This book is also lovingly illustrated with many images both modern and historical - ranging from Arno Gasteiger's stunning photography through to botanical illustrations from the National Library.
