Detailed Product Description

London, 1939, 3rd edition. 524 pp, 10 maps. Moore was one of the most active climbers of the 'Golden-Age.' This account of his 1864, 1865 and 1872 Alpine seasons with Edward Whymper and Horace Walker is delightful in its personal reports of the climbs made that year, including Mont Blanc. The first edition is one of the scarcest and most desirable of all books from this period. Both Volumes have clean but slightly chipped Dust Jackets, and are Near Fine.

The Aiguilles d'Arves
The Aiguille de la Saussaz
The Br�che de la Meije
Les Ecrins
The col de la Pilatte

Adolphus Warburton Moore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moore made a first ascent during his first visit to the Alps in 1862 and immediately became a central figure in the golden age of alpinism. Moore's first ascents include:

23 July 1862: Fiescherhorn (Bernese Alps) with H. B. George and the guides Christian Almer and Ulrich Kaufmann

25 June 1864: Barre des �crins (Dauphin� Alps) with Edward Whymper and Horace Walker, and the guides Michel Croz, Christian Almer the elder, and Christian Almer the younger.

28 June 1865: Piz Roseg (Bernina Alps) with Horace Walker and the guide Jakob Anderegg

6 July 1865: Ober Gabelhorn (Pennine Alps) with Horace Walker and Jakob Anderegg

9 July 1865: Pigne d'Arolla (Pennine Alps) with Horace Walker and Jakob Anderegg

15 July 1865: Brenva Spur on Mont Blanc with George Spencer Mathews, Frank Walker and Horace Walker, and the guides Jakob Anderegg and Melchior Anderegg.

This last route, the Brenva Spur, was the first to be climbed on the remote southern side of Mont Blanc and exceeded in difficulty anything that had thus far been attempted onthe mountain. Moore's description of the Brenva ascent is, according to Claire Engel, 'amongst the finest Alpine tales in existence'.

Moore went to the Caucasus with Douglas Freshfield and Charles Comyns Tucker in 1868, making the first ascent by a non-native of Mount Elbrus (the lower of the two summits), the highest mountain in the Caucasus,and the first ascent of Kazbek with the same party.
