Above The Snow Line: Mountaineering Sketches Between 1870 And 1880 is a collection of vivid and thrilling accounts of mountaineering expeditions during the late 19th century.

Dent’s writing is vivid and evocative, bringing to life the stunning beauty of the mountains and the intense physical and mental challenges faced by climbers. He describes the dangers of avalanches, the treacherous conditions of snow and ice, and the sheer physical exertion required to reach the summit.In addition to his own experiences, Dent also includes accounts of other notable mountaineers of the time, including Edward Whymper, who famously conquered the Matterhorn in 1865. The book also includes sketches and illustrations by Dent himself, which add to the sense of adventure and excitement.Above The Snow Line is a must-read for anyone interested in mountaineering, adventure, or the history of exploration.
