ASCENT IMPOSSIBLE.

Holy Week Not Favourable to

Mountain Climbing in Mexico.

The Chevalier O'Rourke [pseudonym of Aleister Crowley], Mr. Eckenstein [Oscar Eckenstein] and Mr. Marshall, returned yesterday from Oriziba where they had gone for the purpose of making the ascent of Mount Oriziba but for various reasons they were unable to accomplish their purpose. On account of holy week, guides were not obtainable and other obstacles arose which could not be overcome.
