To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under these circumstances, an asylum was eagerly sought for the infirm through age or disease, and for the women. The cavern in Castel Luzzo was thought of by two young mountaineers ; but how to enter it, as the rock is, to all practical purposes, perpendicular, was another consideration : the dearest affections, however, under the greatest ex- citement, surmount all difficulties. They descended by a projecting angle of the rock, at about the same risk which a man would be exposed to who should... try to come down the outside of a chimney, excepting that, instead of a fall of sixty feet, they risked one of 600. Having gained the cavern, 32 they received from their comrades, at the top of the rock, ropes and a block, to make a pulley; and by this pulley, in dark nights to avoid detec- tion, the women and the infirm were hoisted up, as were also provisions. Eventually an upper entrance to the cavern was discovered on the top of the mountain, but so narrow that two men might defend it effectually.
