Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Tuesday, 22 August 1905

 

 

On Tuesday, August 22nd, the Doctor [Jules Jacot Guillarmod] and I went up the right bank of the glacier to a small grassy spur jutting from one of the buttresses of Jannu,[1] where we established our Camp I. The last hour was over moraine as bad as only virgin Himalayan moraine can be.

 

 

1—Probably not Jannu throughout. Rare glimpses and a faulty map make certainty impossible for the moment.
