Issued here in the substantial 1911 sixteenth edition, the work combines practical mountaineering guidance with rich historical commentary and vivid descriptions of the Mont Blanc massif, the glaciers of Chamonix, and the dramatic evolution of Alpine climbing during its golden age. Whymper's writing captures both the romance and peril of high-altitude exploration, drawing upon his unparalleled firsthand experience among Europe's most celebrated peaks.\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   Edward Whymper remains one of the most legendary figures in mountaineering history, best remembered for the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865 — an achievement overshadowed by the tragic accident that claimed four lives during the descent. In this authoritative guide he brings together detailed route information, scientific observations, historical accounts of early ascents, and commentary on the geography and geology of the Alps. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with engravings, maps, panoramic views and foldout charts, including the superb large folding map of the Mont Blanc chain, all of which greatly enhance both its visual appeal and historical importance.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  This handsome 1911 edition is particularly desirable in its original leather bindings and remains complete with all 63 plates, illustrations and foldout charts present as called for. The volume exemplifies the high standards of John Murray publishing and reflects the enduring popularity of Alpine literature in the Edwardian era. Today the work is highly sought after by collectors of mountaineering history, exploration, travel literature and finely illustrated guidebooks, especially in complete examples retaining their original maps and folding material.\"\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" rwr=\"1\" size=\"4\" style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       Light wear and fading to covers and spine as shown.
