Jakob, skilled mountain guide, is the only one who dares climbing a mountain at night to dynamite and redirect the snow, thus preventing an avalanche over the new luxurious hotel; yet he must keep it a secret.

Frederick Burlingham, the famous Alpine climber and cinematographer, whose ascent of the Matterhorn and pictures of the great Vesuvius created such a sensation, has obtained some wonderful pictures of the snow-clad Jungfrau. These pictures show the actual climbing of the mountain, which is 13,760 feet high. We are shown a "summer" scene, in which people are enjoying a game of snowballing; other scenes picture the vast fields of snow. More wonderful still, however, is a picture taken above the clouds. We are shown the mountaineering party climbing the Rothdale Saddle, which, by the way, slopes 70 degrees, and later we see them breaking the ice cornice at Rothdale Saddle, always an exceedingly dangerous operation. Above the Saddle the panorama is beautiful. We are then shown a marvelous dangling maneuver, which looks anything but safe. At a height of 13,000 feet we see Mont Blanc quite distinctly, although this famous mountain is 73 miles away from the Jungfrau. Finally, the summit, the noblest in the world, is reached. At the station of Jungfraujoch, from which Mr. Burlingham started on his perilous ascent of the Jungfrau, the mountaineering party were watched with breathless interest by the people who had gathered to see the beginning of the journey.
