The work comprises personal accounts and observations from Wherry's alpine expeditions and includes technical discussions about climbing techniques and safety. The text is likely aimed at both novice climbers and seasoned adventurers, offering insights into the joys and challenges of mountaineering while encouraging readers to explore the alpine landscape themselves. The opening of this publication introduces Wherry's experiences during various climbing seasons, beginning with a letter written in 1895. He recounts training at Kandersteg and details an array of climbs, including the Birrenhorn and Monte Rosa, sharing amusing anecdotes, encounters with wildlife, and reflections on the sublime beauty of the mountains. Wherry also addresses the practical and technical aspects of climbing, such as the importance of training and acclimation, as well as the unique adaptability of hands and feet in climbers. The narrative balances personal reflection with informative content, setting an engaging tone for the rest of the collection.
