Geoffrey Winthrop Young (1876-1958) was a British climber, poet and author of many notable books on mountaineering. This is his interesting account of his expeditions in the Alps. He made several new ascents in the Alps, including noted routes on the Zermatt Breithorn on Monte Rosa, the west ridge of the Gspaltenhorn, the west face of the Weisshorn, and the south face of the Täschhorn, as well as his finest rock climb: the Mer de Glace face of the Aiguille du Grépon. Illustrated throughout by a variety of photographers such as Ralph S. Morrish, J. Gaberell and George Ingle Finch. An eight-page publisher's catalogue to the rear. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with shelf wear to the extremities, including small losses to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with the odd spot, more so to the first and last few pages. Very Good
