Matterhorn

Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the first climb of the Matterhorn by Edward Whymper and his party in July 1865, this pictorial book features over 100 pages of photographs of the world's most recognisable mountain, together with tantalising extracts from Whymper s own books - 'Scrambles Amongst the Alps' and 'The Ascent of the Matterhorn', and the details of Graeme Wallace's attempt to traverse the summit via the Lion Ridge in Italy and down the Hornli Ridge in Switzerland, 150 years later in 2015.
