Crowley Expedition to K2 Yielded First Photograph of the Mountain

Soror Hypatia has passed along a link to a Suburban Mountaineer piece that notes that  the earliest photos of K2 was taken by Jules Jacot-Guillarmod, who was the physician of the team led by Oskar Eckenstein and Aleister Crowley who attempted to reach the summit in 1902. The image  was published in Jacot-Guillarmo’s book Six Mois dans l’Himalaya (1904). Read the entire series of posts here: http://suburbanmountaineer.com/2013/02/21/western-eyes-on-k2/
