Talk:Golden age of alpinism

Date

 * There was a recent change of the date when the golden age started based on Anker. According all the sources I've seen, the golden age began with Wills and the Wetterhorn, eg (for a few online examples), . I also reverted the list of first ascents as some were wrong (eg Dammastock (1864 not 1865) and some were after July 1865 (eg Tschingelhorn in September 1865).

The End?
Why was the Matterhorn ascent considered the end? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.31.242.232 (talk) 15:02, 14 July 2015 (UTC)


 * In fact, this article desperately needs more details on why the so-called "golden age" of alpinism is so short, and why it is bounded as it is. As it stands, this article looks dangerously under-sourced to me.
