The character
John Ball (1818 – 1889)
Irish naturalist, writer and mountaineer, John Ball was the first president of the English Alpine Club founded in 1857. He climbed European and Italian peaks, becoming particularly fond of the Dolomites, which he traversed since the 1860s. From 1867, he explored the Pale di San Martino: the omonimous Peak (2802 m) and Pass (2442 m) are dedicated to him. Fallen in love with this location, Ball himself suggested the construction of a hotel, to accommodate more tourists. The countless reports of his ascents were collected since 1858 in the famous “Alpine guides” (1863-1868), later published in the first mountaineering-related periodical “Peaks, Passes and Glaciers”, still published today.
