The Ascent of the Similaun Peak on 27 August 1839 (Conclusion)
In the concluding part of his account, Franz Radi, a rural doctor from Algund, describes the descent, at times hazardous, from the Similaun across the Grafferner glacier into the Schnals Valley. He reflects on the physical after-effects of the high-alpine tour, recommends the most suitable ascent route, and commends the local mountain guides, cooperator Johann Egger, and local inns.
