Synopsis

With Axe and Rope in the New Zealand Alps is a memoir written by George Edward Mannering and originally published in 1891. The book is a vivid and exciting account of the author's experiences mountaineering in the Southern Alps of New Zealand during the late 19th century. Mannering describes his adventures climbing some of the highest and most challenging peaks in the region, including Mount Cook, Mount Tasman, and Mount Sefton. He also provides detailed accounts of the dangers and difficulties of mountaineering in this rugged and remote terrain, including avalanches, rock falls, and extreme weather conditions. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the stunning scenery of the New Zealand Alps, as well as the flora and fauna that inhabit the region. Mannering's writing is engaging and evocative, and his book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early mountaineering in one of the most beautiful and challenging landscapes on Earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tins short work contains the story of five seasons climbing and exploring in the New Zealand A lps. Most of the material embodied in it has already appeared from time to time, in rather a different form, in the Christchurch (N.Z.) Weekly Press. The author trusts that the publication of the same in book form, together with a map of the locality and a few photographic reproductions, will supply a want in the shape of a guide-book to the Alpine mountain district which is already beginning to be felt by tourists in New Zealand; and he hopes that the contents may not prove uninteresting to the general public, more especially to Swiss and Caucasian climbers, few of whom are perhaps aware of the extent and nature of the New Zealand Alpine chain. The map is compiled by the New Zealand Government Survey Office from the work of Mr. T. N. Brodrick. Government Survejor, and that of Dr. E. von Lendenfeld. The illustrations are from photographs by Messrs. Wheeler andS
