Letter From Rev G L Locke On Alpine Travel In Switzerland
In this continuation the author describes reaching Lucerne and its hotels as a base for mountain excursions. He warns of dangers in high altitude travel including crevasses, arêtes, and ice bridges, and notes that guides and climbers are tied by rope for safety. He reflects on the thrill and risk, mentioning Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, and hints at portraying Interlaken in a future letter.
