The Complete Mountaineer (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from The Complete Mountaineer About two years ago the publishers thought it desirable that mountaineering should be brought into line with our other national sports. In other words, they decided to publish a work entitled, "The Complete Mountaineer," uniform with their other well-known "Complete Series." This accounts for the apparently presumptuous title of this book, and the author craves pardon for what his brother climbers might well describe as an impossible pitch. No one is aware of the difficulty and resultant shortcomings of the undertaking more than the author; but he feels that the outcome of his personal experience, both in technical matters and on the mountains themselves, may prove of service and interest to the largely increasing public who find their greatest pleasure in the high places of the earth. In the technical sections no lengthy attempt has been made to explain or teach details that can only be learnt in actual practice on the mountains, and in charge of more or less experienced friends. When dealing with the various districts, the author has, for the most part, so arranged the information culled from his own actual expeditions, that each chapter may prove useful to those who are making a first visit to the regions dealt with. As far as possible, second-hand opinions, which in mountaineering are notoriously contradictory and conflicting, have been avoided, and the actual personal experiences of a somewhat strenuous climbing career form the bulk of the book. The ways of some modern mountaineers and the regrettable results of their thoughtlessness make it necessary that a note of warning should be sounded.

Mount McKinley and Mountain Climbers' Proofs (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from Mount McKinley and Mountain Climbers' Proofs The number of persons interested in mountain cering increased by leaps and bounds in the latter half of the nineteenth century, and with the steady expansion of mountain-club memberships, there grew up an increasing desire to make first ascents, that is, to be the first person to tread on a virgin peak. After all the big peaks of the European Alps were ascended, European climbers who could go no farther afield began to ascend smaller peaks, until to day the merest rocklet is sought out in the search for novelty. Climbers with larger bank accounts turned their attention to big peaks in all parts of the world. The Rocky Mountains, the Andes, the Caucasus, the New Zealand Alps, the African snowy ranges, the Himalaya, all have been attacked and some of their peaks at least have borne the imprint of hobnailed shoes.

Excerpt from Mountains and Mountain-Climbing: Records of Adventure and Enterprise Among the Famous Mountains of the World That it has strong attractions for the robust and hold; that it has been of good service to Science; and that it tends to cherish in the youth and manhood of a nation a chivalrous fearlessness and a heroic love of adventure. And hence we are inclined to hope that the following pages, descriptive as they are of the ascents of some of the world's most remark able mountains, will find an eager and a grateful public. They are intended not only for readers who have climbed mountains, but for those who wish they could climb them, or who are wisely of opinion that when they cannot climb in propria persond, the next best thing is to read about more fortunate enthusiasts. And then they are also intended for all who can sympathize with deeds of daring, or who find a rare enjoyment in studying descriptions of Nature's wilder, grander, and sublimer landscapes. For our little volume is dedicated not only to the mountain-climbers, but to the Mountains in all their high pure beauty and elevated mag.
