Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. 8vo. pp. x, 181, [2, ads.]; wood-eng. frontis. by Edward Whymper, 2 folding maps; bookplate removed from front pastedown, minor spotting, else very good in the original blind-stamped blue cloth, gilt. The Matterhorn accident of 1865, in which Edward Whymper saw four member of his party fall to their deaths, sent a shock wave through the mountaineering community. Although not himself a particularly competent climber, Girdlestone advocated climbing without guides - the majority of the episodes narrated in his High Alps were made without them. The publication of High Alps for this reason brought Girdlestone some renown amongst climbers. Few copies of the book were issued - according to Neate not more than 100 copies.…

Contemporary half calf (rubbed, rebacked with original gilt spine laid down), marbled boards, endpapers, and edges. (#7868).…
