1905 Kangchenjunga expedition
editNice article indeed! On the Kangchenjunga page is an extensive note on the Crowley expedition in 1905, the same year Longstaff made an attempt on Gurla Mandhata and reached an altitude between 7000 and 7300 m. Crowley's claim is that "We [=the mountaineers in his team] had reached a height of approximately 25,000 ft" or about 7600 m. He was prone to exaggeration, to put it mildly, but since it is mentioned on the Kangchenjunga page you might put his claim to rest on this page, if you dare to tread there.
