Adventures on the Roof of the World: Getting a Party Up and Down the High Alps

Climbing in the high Alps and the Caucasus: routes, guides, weather, and the practical business of getting a party up and down. Mrs Aubrey Le Blond wrote from her own seasons in the mountains and from photographs she took herself, often at hours no one else was awake. The chapters on winter ascents describe a sport she largely invented. Sixty plates of painting, from Wilhelm von Kobell to Winslow Homer, keep the high passes, rock faces, and mountain light of the climbing chapters continually in view.
