A great classic of South American mountaineering literature. Essential reading for travellers to Ecuador. This particular copy includes the very rare supplementary volume of scientific material. Whymper decided to explore the Andes to find out the effects of mountain sickness at high altitudes and he later won an award for his findings.

It is also very rare find this work in original dust jackets.
