Excerpt from British Mountain ClimbsMountaineering may be regarded as one of the youngest of our sports, and its development amongst the homeland mountains is of comparatively recent origin. Until the late Owen Glynne Jones wrote his book, Rock Climbing in the English Lake District, which is now regarded as a classic, intimate acquaint ance with the British mountains was confined to a select few. He had tasted to the full the keenest joys of the sport, and used to urge that every healthy Englishman would be improved, morally and physi cally, by mountaineering. Now, ten years after his sad loss on the Dent Blanche, it is seen that his favourite theory is being put into practice beyond all expectations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
