FOOTNOTES:

[1] These are now known as Mummery nails, and are often used by climbers.

[2] True Tales of Mountain Adventure, pp. 42 and 43.

[3] Or, in modern phraseology, “avalanches.”

[4] Mountain aneroids generally overstate the heights. The height of Gestola is now computed at 15,932 feet, and that of Tetnuld at 15,918 feet.

[5] “Good God! The Sleeping-place!”

[6] “I am still living.”

[7] Above the Snow Line, by Clinton Dent.

[8] True Tales of Mountain Adventure, p. 269.

[9] True Tales of Mountain Adventure, p. 134.

[10] At the moment of going to press, I must note a fatal accident on the mountains due to lightning, namely, the death of the guide, Joseph Simond, on the Dent du GÉant. This I had overlooked.

[11] See True Tales of Mountain Adventure.

[12] “Ah! That is really wonderfully beautiful!”

[13] All details connected with this avalanche were collected on the spot, and shortly afterwards published in a volume, Der Bergsturz von Elm, by E. Buss and A. Heim. ZÜrich, 1881.
