Synopsis

With Axe and Rope in the New Zealand Alps is a book written by George Edward Mannering and published in 1891. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences climbing in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Mannering was a British climber who visited New Zealand in the late 1800s and was one of the first to explore the region's mountains. In the book, he describes his adventures and the challenges he faced while climbing some of the highest peaks in the country. Mannering also provides detailed descriptions of the landscapes and the flora and fauna he encountered during his expeditions. The book is an important historical record of early mountaineering in New Zealand and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of climbing or the natural beauty of the Southern Alps.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

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
