Glacial Peril and Narrow Escape in 1859 Alpine Trek
An August 1859 Alpine ascent near Chamonix recounts near fatal crevasse exposure on the Mer de Glace. A chamois hunter fell into a crevasse, survived after a perilous descent, and a Russian nobleman perished elsewhere in glacier dangers. The narrative recalls rope limits and risky ice crossing during an unforgettable Swiss expedition with guides and aging gear.
