Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 28 June 1902

 

 

He [Oscar Eckenstein] was still ill. The weather was fine and we held a durbar. It was arranged that Pfannl [Heinrich Pfannl], the Doctor [Jules Jacot Guillarmod], and I were to go up to the shoulder of Chogo Ri with one sleighload to establish a light camp, making an attempt on the mountain the day after. Wesseley [Victor Wessely] was very indignant at not being included in the party, and used expressions which ought never to have been tolerated. I did not hear him myself, as I had hurried off to fix up the sleigh, but Eckenstein’s illness alone saved the offender from a well-merited thrashing.
