The Ortler.—Two ascents of this peak deserving of records have been brought under our notice. In August 1894 Mr. E. Aleister Crowley, with the guides Michael Ortler and J. J. Thöni, of Trafoi traversed the peak, ascending by the Hintere Grat and descending over Stickle Pleiss. Mr. Crowley also accomplished a variation of the Hintere Grat route, by the rock-ridge at the base of the Grat.
