To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They had generally behaved with a carelessness of the morrow which is hardly expedient in sparrows who go hopping on the roof of the world. I, in my sleeping-bag, suflered far less than I have in huts 7000 feet lower on the flank of Mont 154 ROUND KANGCHENJUNGA Blanc, for instance at the Aiguille du Midi or the Aiguille du Goiiter. Lassitude and irritation caused by our slow advance, by the uncertainty as to the right track, and by the over-keenness of the thin, dry air were all we had to compl...ain of. The final ascent did not promise to be arduous, and it was only made so by the excessive quantity and villainous quality of the new snow. In order to reach the foot of the actual pass we had first to penetrate a deep hollow or basin filled by glaciers. There was some difficulty in knowing when we trod on ice, owing to the cloak that was spread over the whole face of the mountains except where they showed precipices of golden crag. We crossed what was probably moraine, then a considerable glacier flowing across our path from the Jonsong Peak.
