Scrambles Amongst The Alps In The Years 1860-69

Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860-69

by Edward Whymper

Scrambles Amongst the Alps is a classic work of mountaineering literature by Edward Whymper, one of the leading figures of the early years of Alpine climbing. The book describes Whymper's many ascents in the Alps of France, Italy, and Switzerland, including his successful first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. Whymper's book is not only a valuable historical record of early mountaineering, but also a beautifully written and illustrated account of the beauty and challenges of the Alps.
