Descripción

Scrambles Amongst the Alps stands as one of the quintessential works of early mountaineering literature, authored by the pioneering climber Edward Whymper (1840-1911). Renowned for his daring attempts on the Matterhorn, Whympers legacy is forever intertwined with the tragic events of July 1865, when four members of his expedition lost their lives after their historic ascent. While the Matterhorn is a focal point of his narrative, Whympers book journeys through numerous other breathtaking ascents across the stunning landscapes of France, Italy, and Switzerland. Richly illustrated with his own drawings—born from his background as an illustrator—this classic invites listeners to engage with the text in a unique way, making it worthwhile to access the accompanying .pdf file for a visual treat. Join Nicholas Clifford for an enthralling exploration of Whympers adventures in the Alps.
