The first ascent of the Matterhorn in July 1865 is one of the key
events in the history of mountaineering. It was the climax of five
years' struggle by the English mountaineer Edward Whymper in
competition with Jean Antonie-Carrel, the Italian mountain guide
who had grown up in the mountain's shadow. It also produced perhaps
the most famous mountaineering accidents of the 19th century,
bringing to an end the 'Golden Age of Alpine climbing'. This is the
story of the events leading up to this remarkable ascent and its
terrible aftermath. This is a gripping classic.
