What reading level is My Alpine Jubilee, 1851-1907: 1851-1907 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Accidents, as in this case, are invariably due to carelessness and folly. All the rules of ice-craft were there broken ; and good guides never break the rules if it can be helped. It does not do to take on amateurs or outsiders.
Having a fine Chamounix man who had taken me up Mont Blanc, and then by the Glacier Passes to Zermatt, I had a fancy to try the beautiful pyramid of the Grivola, near Aosta, a sort of Matterhorn minor, which had beaten Stephen with Melchior and some other famous climber...s. The Grivola was then the special preserve of King Victor Emmanuel, the haunt of the rare bouquetitiy or ibex^ a much nobler beast than the chamois. The king's keeper was said to be the only man who knew the way to the top, and he kept it as his perquisite and secret. I engaged him, and he did his work and took us up and down. But nothing would induce him to use the rope on a crevassed glacier, or give any help on a bad place. * I will show you the way,' he said ; LETTER V 57 * but if you fall in, you shall not drag me ; and if I fall in, I don't want to drag you !
