520			_a"Above the Snow Line: Mountaineering Sketches Between 1870 and 1880" by Clinton Dent is a collection of personal essays reflecting on mountaineering experiences written in the late 19th century. The sketches reveal the challenges and joys of climbing during a time when the sport was gaining popularity, and they also explore the camaraderie among climbers as well as the evolving nature of mountaineering itself. At the start of the collection, Dent recounts an expedition in the Saas Valley in 1870, describing the oppressive heat and the camaraderie shared among climbers. He introduces his party’s plans to summit the Balfrinhorn, noting the peculiarities of Alpine life and the enthusiasm of climbing in a less commercialized context than today. With a blend of humor and nostalgia, he reflects on the simplicity of previous climbing methods and the changes brought by an increasing number of climbers drawn to the Alps in search of adventure. This opening hints at the philosophical undercurrents of Dent's writing, setting the tone for a reflective exploration of both the physical challenges and the personal growth found in mountain climbing.
