Book excerpt: The sport of mountaineering was pioneered 150 years ago by a diverse cross-section of Victorians, following in the footsteps of earlier local explorers who ventured into the upper regions of ice and snow in search of game and minerals. By the early years of the 19th century, a growing interest in the study of geological and glaciological phenomena attracted scientific interest in the origins of the Alps. It was only in the latter half of that century when, by the 1850s, interest in the largly unexplored Alpine peaks began to capture the public imagination, and a sharp increase developed in the numbers of those who tried to scale them. So intense was the level of exploration and achievement that the next decade was labelled the Alpine Golden Age. By the turn of the century the new sport had not only expanded vastly, but had begun to acquire a degree of respectability. The development of new skills and techniques resulted in greater accomplishments, whilst retaining the spirit and traditions of the pioneers. In this book the mountaineer and writer Trevor Braham illustrates aspects of the character and achievements of some of the early Victorian climbers, and their response to the unique attractions of mountaineering. These include Leslie Stephen (the father of Virginia Woolf), Alfred Wills, John Tyndall, Adolphus Warburton Moore, Edward Whymper (the first to conquer the Matterhorn), Albert Frederick Mummery and many more. Trevor Braham's comprehensive history on this period of Alpine mountaineering is essential to any mountaineer's bookshelf.

Download or read book Women on the Rope written by Cicely Williams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1973, Women on the Rope provides the first consecutive story of the ‘feminine share in mountain adventure’, a share which has grown from tiny beginnings in 1808 to a level at which women have won their place at Everest expeditions. Cicely Williams provides a book which combines exact and detailed knowledge of a little-known chapter of human enterprise with that zest for life and love of mountains that have brought her so many friends. This is a book for mountaineers, for social historians, and for the fireside connoisseur of good storytelling.
