TRAGEDIES OF ALPS
Many Lives Lost in Attempting
Their Ascent.
Death Roll Averages Between Sixty
and Seventy Per Year-Dan9erous
Climb Of an American
Woman Related.

London.-"High places are homes OF
ancient worship. Ascent is conse-
Grated type of labor with an exceed
ing great reward
So wrote the late Mr.. Donald Rob
ertson in the Alpine Journal. And he.
one OF the finest climbers. who had
travelled the Alps from end to end.
was killed about four years ago while
leading a party up a comparatively In
significant Welsh mountain.
Most mountaineering accidents oc-
cur in Switzerland. and the death
roll of the Alps has now risen to an
average of between 60 and 70 yearly,
while another 800 people are more
or less seriously injured In one year
no less than ll9.
Examine the published statistics of
these accidents, and two points strike
you First, that comparatively few
of the tragedies recorded occur at
great heights or in VIGOROUSLY difficult
places; secondly, that large ma
jority of the victims are women or
very young men.
a third point Is that In 80 per cent.
of cases they were climbing without
guides
The fact is that ignorance or reck-
lessness account for by far the great
er number of Alpine accidents. Peo-
pie who have, perhaps. never climbed
before in their lives start out to
ascend mountains with which they are
totally unacQuainted. In most cases
they are physically unfit for the Sc
we're exertion entailed by climbing.
and very often they are not properly
clothed or equipped for the expedi-
ton.
An instance In point Is given by
Mr. Julian Grande, well-known mem
Der OF the Alpine club. Accompanied
by friend. he was climbing the
Schlthorn. a respectable peak of about
10. 900 feet In the Bernese Oberland.
At great height. he noticed in the
