4 Pretty strong ascent up to the inclined bed of snow, 
This vast collection of snow is about 1} miles in 
width, filling up the whole space between the feet of 
the peaks to the right and lefts we can see its surface 
forward to the extent of 4 or 35 miles or more, to 
where its it bounded, on the left, by the feet of the 4 
Saints, and to the right, by snow spurs from other 
mountains beyond mount Moira: these last spurs ra~ 
_ ther overtop the feet of the Saints, and to them, and to 
the place where we judge there is a ridge, is all ase 
cent over snow.—Pyramid peak. 236—Mount Moira

Ascent of the sume kind—generally acclivity we but we - 
| pass over small holiows in the snow, caused by its 
irregular subsiding.—A very dangerous place; the 
snow stuck full of rubbish, and rocks imbedded in 
it.—Many rents in the snow appear to have been 
recently made, their sides shrinking and falling in. 
A man sunk inte the snow, and was got out not with< 
out some delay.. The bed of the Ganges is to the 
right, but quite concealed by the snow ..-crccceecces 309 do. 
In high hope of getting on to what may be at the top 
of the acclivity, we have come on cheerily over the 
hollow and treacherous compound of snow and rub- 
bish, but now with bitter regret, we both agree that 
to go on is impossible! The sun is melting the snow
