Great stories of how mankind has "conquered" the Alps. It sometimes got a bit tedious but was mostly really interesting.

This is what is technically called a right rollicking read. History treated as a story focusing on the eccentricity and obsession that drove the early alpine explorers. A light, non-fiction read that amuses as well as informs.
