See The Journal of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club, Vol.1, No.1 1907: "Amongst British mountaineers the name of John Robinson is a household word, and the number of members of the Alpine and other kindred Clubs with whom he was on terms of closest intimacy, and who have enjoyed the privilege of climbing with him amongst his native fells is very large", with a photograph of Robinson. "Baumgartner was not only one of the earliest rock-climbers in Wales and the Lakes, but he was also a pioneer among the Alps.

Smythe was one of the greatest mountaineers of his age, and was also a pioneer in mountain photography. In this book he recounts a mountaineering…
