One of the most strenuous, 

 dangerous and fascinating 

 phases of mountaineering 

 in Switzerland is the con- 

 quest of the rugged and 

 forbidding looking peaks 

 of glacier ice which rear 

 their heads above the 

 clouds. To accomplish 

 such an ascent is a severe 

 test of human courage and 

 endurance not easily for- 

 gotten by the daring 

 tourist. It is extremely 

 unsafe to undertake such 

 ascents without the assist- 

 ance of experienced guides. 

 The neglect of this pre- 

 caution by tourists causes 

 many fatal accidents
