Product Description

Product Description

An extraordinary castle of rock and ice, Monc Blanc is one of the striking natural monuments of Earth and provides mountaineers with a magnificent adventure ground. Starting in 1786 with the first ascent to the summit and continuing for two more centuries with the exploits of people such as Edward Whymper, Armand Charlet, Riccardo Cassin, Walter Bonatti and Christopher Profit, the mountaineering history of Mont Blanc is relived in this book in words and photographs Awesome spectacles of nature, the peaks of rocks and ice that rise above 4000 metres - Grande Jorasse, Aiguille Verte, Mont Blanc and the granite towers of Dru, Grand Capucin and Grepon have a history of testing mountaineers to the limit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great mountain photographs, 18 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Very much a book for the climber and mountaineer - of either the armchair or real variety. This is a large book with page after page of glorious photography, several pages actually fold out. The text is interesting but not very original. Excellent value considering the large size and good quality printing.
