Mountaineers have always written of their adventure in mountaineering books. Edward Whymper was the first to climb the Matterhorn. Paccard and Balmat reached the summit of Mont Blanc in 1786. But it was Albert Smith who introduced the public to the wonders of mountaineering. Before the formation of the Alpine Club he alone performed the Mont Blanc Sideshow until 1860, having ascended the mountain in 1851.
Climbing Mount Everest became a national tradition in the 1920's and when Mallory and Irvine lost their lives an inexhaustible interest was created in the mountain which was finally climbed in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.
The sometimes dangerous exploration of mountains and the history of mountaineering has been recorded in literature since the beginning and continues to this day. Most of the mountaineering books published over the years are available for sale here. If you cannot find what you are looking for me then please contact me.
