Story
- Summary
- Pathe Intertitles - ""If ever a district can be termed the ‘roof of Europe’, the everlasting snow and ice area around Mont Blanc (15,781 feet high) deserves the term," said Eve."
""We made Chamonix our Headquarters, where the ice-cold Arve flows down from the great glacier, the "Mer-de-Glace" -"
""The best help for a mountaineering lady is a perfect mule -""
""Several males in the party decided they’d be mules in the next world - (But changed their minds later!)""
""We met some peasants. taking timber up for huts -"
""Luckily for us, French mules are sure-footed. A tumble here leads to the place where we all hope we won’t go. -""
""Light refreshment was the excuse for the next stop -""
""Red lips soon turned violet!""
""Across the valley loomed Mont Blanc, tomb of many an unfortunate climber -""
""Before descending, we scanned the "Aiguille du Midi," a jagged 12,608 feet needle in the great Mont Blanc chain -""
""Returning to Chamonix, an old guide with a large telescope, showed us where many climbers had come to an untimely end - (Just to cheer us up!)"
""The next day we joined a party making for the snow line -""
""When feeling hot, we recommend a climb along the edge of a snowy beyond.""
""This is Mont Blanc - the "Fool Killer", they sometimes grimly term it - sublime masterpiece of the Supreme Architect -""
""And just across the ridge we breathlessly watched through our high power glasses, while Adam pitted his nerves and sinews against the gaunt old spectre of death -""
""So sheer the sides that even the Snow King couldn’t hang on!""
""And the summit was reached!"" - Researcher Comments
