Selections from the Alpine Journal, compiled by Unsworth.
The great popular appeal of mountains and climbing today owes much to the hard work of the Alpine Club. In over thirty extracts from its Journal, Walt Unsworth has collected together a variety of stories, articles and criticism, ranging from an account of the ascent of Mont Pelvoux in 1861 to descriptions by contemporary mountaineers of technical obstacles encountered and triumphs attained.
