Foreword
A Night of Serious Drinking (1938)

“My observations are those of a beginner.”

Mount Analogue
Mount Analogue (1952)
Contesto: My observations are those of a beginner. As they are completely fresh in my mind and concern the first difficulties a beginner encounters, they may be more useful to beginners making their first ascents than treatises written by professionals. These are no doubt more methodical and complete, but are intelligible only after a little preliminary experience. The entire aim of these notes is to help the beginner acquire this preliminary experience a little faster.
