Climbing on the Himalaya and Other Mountain Ranges - The Himalaya the Alps and the Rockies
Norman Collie
Publisher: Aeneas Press
Summary
Climbs in the Himalaya, the Alps, the Canadian Rockies, the Lofotens and Skye by the chemist who worked with Ramsay on the noble gases and went with Mummery to Nanga Parbat in 1895 — the first attempt on an eight-thousand-metre peak, which Mummery did not survive. Collie made the first neon lamp in his laboratory and first ascents in his holidays, and writes about both with the same dry precision.
