What reading level is The Story of Alpine Climbing book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eamond was of the University of Strasburg, and had been private secretary to Cardinal Rohan, whose name is notorious in connection with the diamond necklace story. His concern with the mountains dated from a walking tour in Switzer- land, and the first expression of it was the trans- lation of the Swiss travels of the Reverend William Coxe. His Pyrenean journeys began in 1787. The Revolution and the Reign of Terror interrupted them. He was imprisoned, and only escaped the guillotine because the... Committee of Public Safety forgot all about him. After his release, at the time of the fall of Robespierre, he was for a while excluded from the mountains by the operations of the Avar wdth Spain ; but he got back to them as soon as he could, and in the end managed to climb several of the most important Pyrenean peaks. He writes with an enthusiasm which we do not find in the works of any other early climber. The influence of Rousseau was upon him ; and the mountains seemed to him to teach the new philosophies, and to breathe new hopes of a perfected humanity and a regenerated France.
