In the descent we felt discomfort (such as was experienced in the ascent between Junction and Footstool Camp) down to a much lower level, as far as Corner Camp (13,000 feet), than we had felt in the ascent. We seemed to become continuously less able to hold out against altitude the longer we remained at a higher level. I several times took my temperature, but never hit it at anything but normal."2 It must be borne in mind that in this division of mountain-sickness acclimatisation ceases at great heights, because, in consequence of the everincreasing weakness, we become more sensitive to the action of the rarefied air; thus we see from the foregoing quotation that Conway and his companions felt worse when they descended to lower levels. The necessity of distinguishing the effects of weakness from those of rarefied air now becomes apparent. During the ascent one is stronger and more resistant, whereas in descending one is attacked by mountain-sickness at lesser heights owing to the state of greater exhaustion brought about by the casualties of the excursion. This is the reverse of what takes place in the acute form, which disappears, as we have seen, when one passes from thinner into denser air. Even on Monte Rosa at an altitude of 4,560 metres the acute and slow forms of mountain-sickness are easily distinguishable. Several of our party suffered from nausea and vomiting, violent headache, physical prostration 1 Edward Whymper, Travels amongst the Great Andes of the Equator. London, 1892, p-374 W. M.

In myself and others, on the contrary, phenomena of the slow type manifested themselves. Many will have noticed...

Book excerpt: In this classic work of mountaineering literature, Italian physiologist Angelo Mosso describes his scientific observations of the effects of high altitude on the human body during his ascents of various Alpine peaks in the late 19th century. Drawing on his own experiences as well as the accounts of other mountaineers, Mosso offers a fascinating glimpse into the physical and psychological challenges of high altitude climbing, and his groundbreaking research paved the way for future studies of the physiology of extreme environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Man on the High Alps On the intimation of the acquiescence of the Ministry I went to Ivrea where the Alpine regiment was stationed. My errand being made known, a number of soldiers immediately offered to join the expedition to the glaciers of Monte Rosa. I shall often have occasion to mention by name those who accompanied me I take, however, this early opportunity of remarking that their behaviour and discipline were worthy of all praise, and of giving expression to my feelings of admiration for the sterling qualities of these humble comrades of mine, to whom likewise my heartiest thanks are due. The first month, from the roth of June to the 11th of July, 1894, was devoted to preliminary researches with the object of ascertaining the physio logical conditions of the soldiers. As it was necessary to know what was their power of resistance to fatigue at ordinary elevations, I let them march with arms and baggage from Ivrea to Turin, a distance of 60 kilometres. I had purposely chosen some soldiers who were very strong and others of average strength: these I divided into two squads. I started with one squad and made the ascent at a slow rate of progress, about metres per week. The other division climbed up to the summit of Monte Rosa rapidly, em ploying only three days, the rest being by that time installed in the Regina Margherita Hut, awaiting their arrival. This arrangement was made with the intent of discovering the effect of slow and rapid changes of altitude on the organism.
