1927 On High Hills: Memories of The Alps

Description

Early Edition, Illustrated

The second edition of this work, published in the same year as the first edition, in the publisher's original cloth binding.

Geoffrey Winthrop Young (1876-1958) was a British climber, poet and author of many notable books on mountaineering. This is his interesting account of his expeditions in the Alps. He made several new ascents in the Alps, including noted routes on the Zermatt Breithorn on Monte Rosa, the west ridge of the Gspaltenhorn, the west face of the Weisshorn, and the south face of the Täschhorn, as well as his finest rock climb: the Mer de Glace face of the Aiguille du Grépon.

Illustrated throughout by a variety of photographers such as Ralph S. Morrish, J. Gaberell and George Ingle Finch.

An eight-page publisher's catalogue to the rear.
