To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We then pass the Mauvais PdSy a precipitous rock, on the face of which steps are hewn, and the un- practised traveller is assisted by a rope. We puraue our journey, partly along the mountain side, and partly along a ridge of singularly artificial aspect — a lateral moraine. We at length face a house perched upon an eminence at the opposite side of the glacier. This is the auberge of the Montanvert, well known to all visitors to this portion of the Alps. 110. Here we cross the glacier. I should ...have told you that its lower part, including the broken portion we have passed, is called the Glacier des Bois; while the place that we are now about to cross is the begin- ning of the Mer de Glace. You feel that this term is not quite appropriate, for the glacier here is much more like a river of ice than a sea. The valley which it fills is about half a mile wide. 111. The ice may be riven where we enter upon it, but with the necessary care there is no difficulty in crossing this portion of the Mer de Glace.
