One of the most strenuous,
dangerous and fascinating
phases of mountaineering
in Switzerland is the con-
quest of the rugged and
forbidding looking peaks
of glacier ice which rear
their heads above the
clouds. To accomplish
such an ascent is a severe
test of human courage and
endurance not easily for-
gotten by the daring
tourist. It is extremely
unsafe to undertake such
ascents without the assist-
ance of experienced guides.
The neglect of this pre-
caution by tourists causes
many fatal accidents
