Mountain-climbing school-book

This book was published in 1939. It seemed like an eternity had passed and everything had changed. However, after reading a couple of chapters, I came to the fresh idea that everything new is well forgotten old. In other words, this is an interesting and relevant book. And apparently it will remain like this until people stop walking on two legs, and the mountains go to Mohammed.
