Killing Dragons
"Here be dragons" said the old maps. In the late-18th century, a few brave men started to venture up the mountains of Switzerland to discover the secrets hidden in their snowy peaks. Then the British arrived and "mountaineering" was born. This is a history of the conquest of the Alps.
