[edit] The Dent
Thanks for your message. Yes you're right about what Whymper was meaning, but it wasn't what he wrote. In English (perhaps also in Polish?) the convention would be to use square brackets to show that the first few words weren't Whymper's: ie '[The Dent d'Hérens] was the only mountain in the Alps that I have essayed to ascend, that has not, sooner or later, fallen to me. Our failure was mortifying . . . ' Otherwise you are putting words into Whymper's mouth. Best wishes, Ericoides 09:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
