"Hours of Exercise in the Alps" by John Tyndall
Tyndall visited the Alps mountains in 1856 for scientific reasons and ended up becoming a pioneering mountain climber. He visited the Alps almost every summer from 1856 onward, was a member of the very first mountain-climbing team to reach the top of the Weisshorn, and led one of the early teams to reach the top of the Matterhorn. His is one of the names associated with the «Golden age of alpinism». Using his journals and vivid memories, he compiled this book to detail his experience in Europes greatest mountain range.
