This revised edition, sanctioned by his widow and issued three years after his death, includes minor textual corrections and a much improved index. Equally notable both as scientist and mountaineer, Tyndall transformed his scientific interest in mountains into a keen appreciation of their beauty and pleasures. His most famous climb is probably the first ascent of the Weisshorn, but he was also a contender for the first ascent of the Matterhorn. In July 1862 (with Johann Bennen) he reached the main shoulder, only to be defeated by a deep cleft. Neate 836.
