Personen beklimmen een bergwand nabij Grindelwald 1873 - 1888

This photograph by Arthur Gabler, taken between 1873 and 1888, depicts a rugged mountainside near Grindelwald, Switzerland, likely a section of the famous "La mer de glace" or "Sea of Ice" glacier. The image shows a precarious wooden ladder built into the rocky cliff face, with figures climbing up. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the adventurous spirit of the late 19th century, highlighting the challenging conditions encountered by climbers who sought to experience the natural wonders of the Alps.
