Footnotes

"Eckenstein was both a pioneer in the development of the athletic potential of the human body on rock, and an innovator in the technology of mountaineering" (ODNB). The work is devoted to a climbing expedition to the Karakorams in India, undertaken in April-August 1892. In later years Eckenstein was a climbing companion of Aleister Crowley.
