FEATURE FILM / 1913
Views of a party making the actual ascent of this famous mountain have a much greater interest than the usual scenic film. Commencing with the departure of the party from Pierre Pointue, at the altitude of 5,750 feet, chasms and glaciers interrupt a slow progress until a blizzard enforces a halt. At the Vallot Observatory, 14,000 feet above the sea level, the formation of clouds is wonderful to behold. Beautiful photographic effects are obtained, and the final snow-clad peak stands out in grandeur. The view of the cloud-banks drifting through the defiles and the pictures taken from above the clouds are full of beauty and interest.
