Collie, a chemist and leading climber, writes of the 1895 expedition with Mummery and Bruce to Nanga Parbat, one of the first serious attempts on a Himalayan giant, and of the passes, flowers and lakes of Kashmir. Later chapters turn to his explorations in the Canadian Rockies and climbs in the Alps.
