Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860-69 by Edward Whymper is a classic mountaineering memoir that recounts Whymper’s climbing expeditions in the Alps during the 1860s-a foundational era of modern alpinism. The book details his attempts to scale major Alpine peaks, culminating in his historic first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. Whymper describes the technical challenges, dangers, and thrills of early climbing, while also reflecting on the tragic accident during the Matterhorn descent that killed four members of his party. Blending adventure narrative, personal reflection, and precise geographical observation, the work remains one of the most influential books in mountaineering literature.
