Book excerpt: En arpentant pendant plus de quarante ans le massif du Mont-Blanc, Pierre Tairraz, chercheur de vérité, a donné une âme particulière à ces pans surgis des entrailles de la terre. Il a tracé, dans l'austérité des versants encore à l'ombre, des lignes pures qui conduisent les hommes vers les cimes. Il a transformé le Mont-Blanc en un véritable monde de lumières. Dans ses pas, Mario Colonel a emprunté à son tour les chemins de l'émerveillement pour nous offrir celui-ci en partage. En sept chapitres, ils nous invitent à découvrir ce massif extraordinaire : le Mont-Blanc, seigneur des Alpes, surplombant tout le sud-est de la France ; mais aussi le versant italien mystique et rude, tourné vers le Val d'Aoste ; le versant suisse sauvage et peu parcouru ; des bassins entièrement dédiés à l'altitude comme ceux de Miage ou d'Argentière. Depuis la première parution de cet ouvrage en 1996, d'autres livres ont été consacrés au Mont-Blanc, d'autres photographes ont abordé cette source d'inspiration inépuisable, mais aucun n'a pu faire oublier le regard de Pierre Tairraz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the skiing downhills of the Chamonix Mountain in this very detailed and documented book, written by one of the most talented skiers of his generation. Located at the very heart of the highest mountains of Europe, the majestic Chamonix massif stands as a reference among the most sacred skiing places in the world. When winter comes, this snow-addict heaven offers a unique range of dream slopes, from the easiest to the most breathtakingly high ones. Anselme Baud is an extreme skiing leading head and one of the best experts of this mountain. From classic skiing hikes to mountaineering competitions, this guide book presents a precise description of all the biggest slopes this mythic area could offer. In this volume you can find all the information about Chamonix. Thanks to his charming accounts and instructive advice, Anselme Baud shares with us his precious and wide experience as a high mountain guide and an exceptional skier. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in Morzine in 1948, Anselme Baud left his mark on the Alps skiing steep slopes history. As a high mountain guide in 1973, he was one the first to ski on extreme downhills in the Alps, the Andes, in Antarctica or in the Himalayas. As an ENSA professor, he supervised during several years the mountain guides trainings in Bolivia and Nepal. EXCERPT We now come to the Chamonix Aiguilles and the final section of the Mont Blanc Massif. You can’t miss the Chamonix ‘Needles’ as you arrive in this, the capital of mountaineering. Above and behind them, forming the heart of the Massif, sit Mont Blanc and its surrounding peaks (the Tacul, Maudit and Goûter), which have made the valley famous. There are two different approaches to skiing in this area: – classic ski-touring, with its 1 to 2-day climbs and long descents that require mountaineering skills and experience as this is a high mountain environment crossing glaciated terrain; – the ‘new wave’ of freeriders. Using the cable-cars means you can shorten or completely avoid long climbs up to some of the routes in this area, and the approach to the valley’s ‘mythic’ descents, such as the north face of the Aiguille du Midi, can be relatively quick and easy. In fact, from the start of winter a veritable festival of freerider descents is played out before our eyes. Just after a large fall of snow, the slopes on the Glacier Rond, the Cosmiques Couloir and many other routes become almost ‘snow parks’, which would have been inconceivable 30 years ago...

This book was released on 2015-05-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative of a Journey to the Summit of Mont Blanc Made in July, 1819. By WM. Howard, M. D. Mountaineering Classics Compete New Edition The account of the following journey was written a few days after its execution, while the author was confined to his chamber by the inconveniences he had suffered, and it was then penned for the gratification of his immediate friends, and without any view to publication. The partiality of friends, however, having permitted it, during his absence, to appear in the Analectic Magazine, for May 1820, it excited more attention than he could have anticipated, which has induced the author to correct the errors arising from haste and other sources, and to republish it in the present form. Baltimore, April, 1821.

Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... THE STORY OF MONT BLANC. CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY. rpWENTY-SEVEN years ago--when children's books were rare presents, and were so prized, and read, and read again, until the very position of the paragraphs was known by heart--I had a little volume given to me at the Soho bazaar, called " The Peasants of Chamouni," which told, in a very truthful manner, the sad story of Dr. Hamel's fatal attempt to reach the summit of Mont Blanc in 1820. I dare say that it has long been out of print; but I have still my own old copy by me, and I find it was published by Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy, in 1823. My notions of the Alps at that time were very limited. We had a rise near our town of Chertsey, called St. Anne's Hill, from which it was fabled that the dome of St; Paul's had once been seen with a telescope, at a distance of some sixteen or seventeen miles, as the crow flew; and its summit was the only high ground I had ever stood upon. Knowing no more than this, the little book, which I have said had a great air of truth about it, made a deep impression on me; I do not think that " The Pilgrim's Progress" stood in higher favor. And this impression lasted from year to year. Always devouring the details of any work that touched upon the subject, I at length got a very fair idea, topographical and general, of the Alps. A kind friend gave me an old four-volume edition of " De Saussure;" and my earliest efforts in French were endeavors to translate this work. I devoured the adventures of Captain Sherwill and Dr. Clarke in the magazines of our local institution; and finally I got up a small moving panorama of the horrors pertaining to Mont Blanc from Mr. Auldjo's narrative--the best of all that I have read; and this I so painted up and exaggerated in my...
