FIRST EDITION AND A VERY PLEASING COPY INDEED. "Chiefly concerning the Mount Cook area. Malcolm Ross was a founder member of the New Zealand Alpine Club." Neate R73 <br> Mr. Ross was among the early mountaineers that sought the summit of Mount Cook considered one of the most daring and persevering of them all. There was both danger and hardship faced by any climber who sought the summit of Mount Cook. The weather on the west coast especially can be awful for fierce storms sweep up from the Tasman Sea that most tempestuous part of the Pacific whose twelve hundred miles furnished the twelve hundred reasons why New Zealand declined to enter the Australian Federation. The base of operations is distant for no alpine hotels and hardly any shelter huts had been built when Ross made the climb. The slopes and glens when one approaches the west coast are covered with so dense a growth of trees and shrubs that progress is always slow and difficult. The scenery is magnificent with a character that is all its own for New Zealand landscapes are unlike any others.' Edward Arnold hardcover
