Chamonix to Zermatt
CHAMONIX TO ZERMATT About the Author Kev Reynolds first visited the Alps in the 1960s, and returned there on numerous occasions to walk, trek or climb, to lead mountain holidays, devise multi-day routes or to research a series of guidebooks covering the whole range. A freelance travel writer and lecturer, he has a long associa- tion with Cicerone Press which began with his first guidebook to Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees. Published in 1978 it has grown through many editions and is still in print. He has also written more than a dozen books on Europe’s premier mountain range, a series of trekking guides to Nepal, a memoir covering some of his Himalayan journeys (Abode of the Gods) and a collection of short stories and anecdotes harvested from his 50 years of mountain activity (A Walk in the Clouds). Kev is a member of the Alpine Club and Austrian Alpine Club. He was made an honorary life member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild; SELVA (the Société d’Etudes de la Littérature de Voyage Anglophone), CHAMONIX TO ZERMATT and the British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML). After a lifetime’s activity, his enthusiasm for the countryside in general, and mountains in particular, remains undiminished, and during the win- THE CLASSIC WALKER’S HAUTE ROUTE ter months he regularly travels throughout Britain and abroad to share that enthusiasm through his lectures.

150 Ans De Tourisme Au Col Du Lautaret
S. Aubert & A. Bignon+ 150 ans de tourisme au col du Lautaret Le rôle de la Compagnie de chemin de fer Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée et du Touring Club de France dans les Alpes Les cahiers illustrés du Lautaret 2013 - n° 4 Le col du Lautaret est un haut lieu du tourisme dans les Alpes. Ce cahier retrace l’importance de la compagnie ferroviaire Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (PLM) qui a été un des acteurs du développement touristique de la région, en montrant les relations qu’elle a entretenues avec le Touring Club de France, l’hôtelier Alexandre Bonnabel, les compagnies de transport automobile et le Syndicat d’initiative de Grenoble et du Dauphiné. De 1914 à 1944, un Chalet PLM a accueilli des milliers de touristes au col du Lautaret, à proximité du Jardin alpin. Détruit à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, le bâtiment devrait laisser la place à une structure d’accueil du public, des étudiants et des chercheurs.

The British in Corsica from the Mid- Nineteenth Century to the Eve of the Second World War
From Battleground to Playground: The British in Corsica from the Mid- Nineteenth Century to the Eve of the Second World War. Submitted by Elizabeth Constance Raikes to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History January, 2019. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to the late Professor Colin Platt (1934-2015), and those who go on being inspired by him and take heart from his encouragement. Without Colin Platt, this thesis would never have begun. Without the support of those in the present it would not have been completed. Thanks are due to my supervisor Professor Andrew Thompson for his thoroughness and insightful comments that have sharpened and focussed this work. Staffs at the University of Exeter Library, the British Library, the National Archives, the London Metropolitan Archives, City of London and the Archives Départementales La Corse du Sud have been particularly helpful at guiding me through the various systems, processes and care of resources to enable this thesis to benefit from a rich variety of sources. They are largely an unsung body of people but vital to researchers. Finally, I have taken advantage of the good nature of my husband, Graham, for proof reading numerous drafts and for accompanying me on our research visits to Corsica, although exploring Ajaccio whilst I spent hours in the archives was no great hardship. -
The Playground of Europe, 1871 to 1971 Arnold Lunn 1
The playgrou nd of Europe, 1871 to 1971 (A centenary tribute to Leslie Stephen) Arnold Lunn I started writing this paper with misgiving, for some of you will have read A Century of Mountaineering, in which 1 wrote at some length about Stephen, and which was presented by the Swiss Foundation for 10untain Research to every member of the Alpine Club. Fortunately, most people only retain a vague memory of what they have read. 1 remember reading an article in an old magazine, all contributions to which were required to be anonymous-an article which seemed vaguely familiar. I handed the magazine to my wife. 'You must read this admirable article', I said. 'I agree with this anonymous author in every point he makes.' My wife glanced at the article. 'Well, you have found at least one person who agrees with you, for you wrote this article.' The Playground ofEurope, which I first read in my early teens still seems to me to be perhaps the best book ever written about mountaineering. Certainly I know nothing in Alpine literature better than Stephen's chapter on 'The Alps in winter'. I read almost everything that Stephen wrote, his literary criticism and his An Agnostic's Apology which I found completely convincing. H. A. L. Fisher, who had married Leslie Stephen's niece, read a paper to an undergraduate club in my rooms at Balliol. He was then the Warden of New College. He noticed a portrait of Leslie Stephen hanging on my walls, and stopped behind after the meeting to talk about Stephen. -
Recollections of Early Birmingham Members of the Alpine Club
RECOLLECTIONS OF EARLY BIRMINGHAM MEMBERS OF THE ALPINE CLUB. By WALTER BARROW. This is an attempt to give the present generation of climbers a sketch of some of the men of Birmingham and the Midlands who were prominent mountaineers in the last half of the 19th Century and with nearly all of whom I was personally acquainted. The Alpine Club the Mother of Alpine Clubs the world over was founded in England in 1857 (80 years ago). Three of the men of whom I am to speak were among the founders and original members of the Club. And one of these three was a climber with whose first ascent of the Wetterhorn in 1854 modern mountaineering as we know it is usually said to have begun. All these three were Birmingham men, so that we as Midlanders may well be proud of the part this City played in its early encouragement of our sport. But before I tell you of these and others whose names will be remembered as climbers I want to speak of a great Statesman of world wide reputation who became a member of the Alpine Club within 12 months of its foundation. Very few people know that JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, who did more than any man to make Birming ham what it has become, joined the Alpine Club along with his brother-in-law, John Arthur Kenrick in November, 1858. I must confess that I was 'surprised myself to find this out when search ing the early records of the Alpine Club. Chamberlain was then just 22 years of age and he had apparently had two holidays among the Swiss mountains. -

La Saga Des Écrins La Saga Des Écrins La
François Labande François Labande François La Saga des Écrins La Saga des Écrins La 290 Première édition : © Éditions Guérin, 2014 © Éditions Paulsen, 2021 Guérin, Chamonix – guerin.editionspaulsen.com Les éditions Paulsen sont une société du groupe Paulsen Media. François Labande La Saga des Écrins À mes parents, qui ont su m’insuffler la passion pour les montagnes, la vallée de la Guisane, et le massif des Écrins. « La lune nous accueillit quand nous atteignîmes l’arête. Nous remontâmes solennellement l’arête immaculée, un pied dans l’ombre, un pied dans la clarté. Nous arrivâmes au sommet. Le gigantesque porte-à-faux du Doigt de Dieu se dressait contre le couchant où s’attardait encore une bande écarlate. Il semblait désigner dans le firmament une planète merveilleuse : Vénus peut-être. » Pierre Dalloz, première hivernale de la Meije orientale, 1927 préface par Lionel Daudet Vu d’en bas avec ses pics acérés aux cimes perdues, le massif des Écrins semblerait un îlot de liberté émergeant d’un océan douloureusement légiféré, embrassant un espace d’autant plus précieux qu’il est devenu rare au milieu de nos contrées urba- nisées. Il est curieusement resté intact, authentique, sauvage dit-on même, comme figé par les glaces. Comme à l’époque des premiers ascensionnistes, le regard peut tutoyer l’horizon sans qu’un pylône anachronique et malséant, ou une indécente sarabande d’hélicoptères ne viennent troubler une séculaire sérénité. Là-haut peut encore s’exercer la liberté d’être, un face- à- face(s) sans fard entre soi et les montagnes. Le massif des Écrins est scellé d’un temps à double tranchant : le premier, celui des pierres muettes, s’emploie à préserver le caractère originel de ces montagnes à l’accent méridional. -
John Tyndall's Vertical Physics: from Rock Quarries to Icy Peaks
Phys. Perspect. 12 (2010) 122–145 Ó 2010 Birkha¨user Verlag, Basel/Switzerland 1422-6944/10/020122-24 DOI 10.1007/s00016-009-0012-y Physics in Perspective John Tyndall’s Vertical Physics: From Rock Quarries to Icy Peaks Michael S. Reidy* I analyze, through the work of the Irish physicist John Tyndall (1820–1893), the close relationship formed in the mid-nineteenth century between advances in the physical sci- ences and the rise of mountaineering as a sport. Along with groundbreaking experimental research in the physical sciences, Tyndall worked throughout his career to define and popularize the study of physics. He also was a pioneering mountaineer during the golden age of mountaineering. As he practiced his science, from rock quarries to the study of the blue sky, Tyndall’s interests in the fundamental forces of Nature brought him to the summits of mountains. His sojourns to the mountains, in turn, affected the manner in which he approached his researches. His science and mountaineering were tellingly mixed, and worked in unison to shape public perceptions of what physicists did during a period of increasing specialization and popularization of the field. Key words: John Tyndall; Joseph Dalton Hooker; Thomas Henry Huxley; James David Forbes; Michael Faraday; Royal Institution of Great Britain; British Association for the Advancement of Science; Alps; mountaineering; physics; radiant heat; glaciers; popularization. They were no idle scamperers on the mountains that made these wild recesses first known; it was not the desire for health which now brings some, or the desire for grandeur and beauty which brings others, or the wish to be able to say that they have climbed a mountain or crossed a col, which I fear brings a good many more; it was a desire for knowledge that brought the first explorers here…. -

Yet, from the post-First World War period innovation; rope team until today, French women mountaineers have discovered and organized a novel and atypical experience: climbing in manless rope teams to meet their unsatisfied social needs for independ- ence, equal rights, and acknowledgment of their capacities. A socio-technical history of the innovative manless rope team reveals three distinctive periods, characteristic of the different waves of feminism.
