Two years later, Jacot-Guillarmod himself organized an expedition, this time to the Napalese and 8585m high Kangchenjunga near Everest. Apart from two Swiss, he also manages to win Aleister Crowley, whom he has met during the K2 expedition in 1902. For the organisation of the expedition in Darjeeling they call upon an Italian hotelier with local language skills. From Darjeeling, the group advances on the border between Sikkim and Nepal.
