<p>Lgr Size: 8" x 10" with 262 pgs. "This is one of the great classics on mountaineering and even today is a fresh and very exciting read." Chris Bonington. On 11th of July, 1865 began a series of events that were to end in tragedy. Returning from the success of the first ever ascent of the Matterhorn, four of Whymper's party plunged down the North face to their deaths when a rope snapped. The news of the accident stunned the entire civilized world. The reissue of Whymper's fascinating description of the first ascent of the Matterhorn is taken from the sixth edition, published in 1936. One of the great classics of climbing literature, it is universally known simply as Scrambles. The book is illustrated with Whymper's original engravings, and now with John Cleare's outstanding photographs of the Alpine range which has been a challenge and a mystery to climbers for centuries.</p>
