Description

Excerpt from The Conquest of Mount Cook and Other Climbs: An Account of Four Seasons'' Mountaineering on the Southern Alps of New Zealand

I have attempted in my first chapter to give a slight summary of the climbing accomplished between 1862 and 1909. This record is necessarily incomplete, dealing as it does with only the main district surrounding Mount Cook. If by any chance I have overlooked any important incidents Of the period I have chosen, I can only crave indulgence for my unintentional omissions on the ground of want of data. The history of New Zealand mountaineering is at present so slight and scattered that it is difficult to Obtain reliable details.
