This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Shelf2Life Mountaineering Collection provides a unique glimpse into the history and evolution of mountaineering through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From historical maps, first-hand accounts of early summits, descriptions of peaks and wilderness areas to detailed mountaineering proofs, enthusiasts can now experience the thrill of the greatest peaks as they were in the early part of the century. Further, in-depth discussions of traditional equipment, technique and routes are a fascinating study in the evolution of the sport. Given the recent explosion of interest in mountaineering, these books are an excellent opportunity to revisit the roots and origins of the sport: they offer a valuable historical perspective as well as important information about the landscape and geography of the past.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...outline of the whole mountain led me to expect a first class climb,9 though in point of distance the clearness oi the air led me to underestimate it. ' See Appendix. 1 One of the chief difficulties in exploring the Teton Range, are the immensely deep canyons that cut up the chain in detached blocks. The water in many cases has worn them down to the level of the basin, and they are often so narrow that you come upon them with startling abruptness, and look down yawning gorges two and three thousand feet deep, and at the top only half that width. They are undoubtedly finer than anything we have in the Alps, While in the Teton Basin we had a full moon, and if the reader cares to entrust himself to such a moonstruck individual, I shall ask him to accompany me on a quiet, after-supper stroll in the beauteous calm of night. Of the many nocturnal rambles I have enjoyed in the Rockies, the one in question stands out in pleasant relief, for the surroundings were exceptionally picturesque. Our camp, pitched on a great spur of the Teton Range, two or three thousand feet over the basin, commands an expansive view, and even the bright light of a huge postprnndial camp-fire can hardly outvie the brightness of night. About us there are half a dozen veteran spruce, so gnarled and weather-beaten as to resemble that grand tree of the Tyrol, the arve, its branches festooned with wavy tresses of the grizzly " beard of the Alps." Supper, the pleasantest meal of the day, is over. The usual campfire conversation, dealing with recent events in our primitive travel, and mainly centring on sporting subjects, of late represented by my sorely disillusioned hopes of finding moose or mountain goats on the Teton Range--for the mountains were pictured to us...
