Account of the ascent of Mount Ritter, October, 1872.

Combines natural observations with the adventures and philosophical musings of a nearly fatal climb. Made from a base camp with three artists who were left sketching on the Lyell Fork of the Tuolumne River. Illustration by one of these artists, William Keith, is included. Drawings by Muir are also included, as well as other period illustrations by Thomas Moran and others. Foreword by former Yosemite Chief Park Naturalist. 24 pages.
