Pencilled on trains home from the Alps and first printed in the Cambridge Chronicle, these yearly letters record climbs in Dauphiné, Switzerland and Savoy, mountain huts, guides and the aftermath of a flood that destroyed a hotel. Wherry adds practical chapters on the anatomy of the climbing foot and on how Alpine accidents happen.
A companionable record of Victorian mountaineering for climbers and anyone who loves the high Alps. Download the free EPUB.
