Description

Published by Methuen & Co, 1908, 2nd Edition (first published in 1907), original cloth, some foxing mostly edges, well illustrated in black-and-white, V.G.    George D. Abraham (1871-1965), along with his younger brother Ashley P. Abraham (1876-1951), were rock climbers, authors and photographers based in Keswick in the Lake District.  They were responsible, along with Owen Glynne Jones,  for producing the classic Jones-Abraham trilogy of Rock-Climbing in the English Lake District (1897) by Owen Glynne Jones (1867-1899), Rock-Climbing in North Wales (1906) by George, and Rock-Climbing in Skye (1908) by Ashley.  The Abraham brothers and O.G. Jones did much to develop and popularise rock-climbing in the Lake District, North Wales and other parts of the British Isles.  This volume is an omnibus instructional work, which also distils much of George’s writings including the U.K. and the Alps.
