Theodor Wundt (1858 - Munich 1929) had a brilliant military career (he became a General), but is best known as a mountaineer and photographer. He climbed in the Alps, mainly in the Dolomites, but also in the Pennine Alps (Matterhorn) and the Bernese Alps (Jungfrau). He was a pioneer of winter climbing, first in the Tatras, then in the Dolomites, the Tofane and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. He didn't hesitate to carry his cumbersome photographic equipment up difficult routes in summer and winter alike, providing us with some spectacular climbing scenes. His climbing companions included Jeanne Immink (1853 - 1929), one of the first women to take up sport climbing. A magnificent and unusual work. Perret, 4609 - CAI p. 108 - ACL p. 344 - CAS p. 431
