Southeast Ridge of Mount Hermon
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Hermon does not give an easy ascent to the mountain-climber, but as you see this group upon its southwestern ridge, it can be climbed, not only by man, but by animals laden with men. For ten months in the year a crown of snow covers its head, giving it the name, "The Snow Mountain". Another name in common use is "Jebel each Sheikh", The Mountain of the Chief. From its regnant appearance like a king upon his throne, the name is appropriate, but in reality it refers to this mountain as the residence of the religious ruler of the Druses, a powerful sect in Syria."
