Re: Challenge Rituals

Aleistair Crowley lived for a while at Boleskine House (NH 509 221 - just 1.5km SW of Inverfarigaig and handy for any Challengers crossing Loch Ness). I understand that he was definitely the go-to guy for rituals . . .

Re: Challenge Rituals

Aleistair was a serious Alpinist and Himalayan climber, so I don't think a little necromancy and devil-worship should put anyone off; He'd be a grand lad to share a bothy night with; McCook's Cottage springs to mind.

Re: Challenge Rituals

These things are true. There's a great account of Crowley's part in the first attempt to climb K2 in 1902, when he was about 27, which you can take a look at here. They got up to around 6,000m.

Re: Challenge Rituals

A life long ambition of achieving Coroner is a goal quoted by Tom Lehrer . But maybe he wasn't a climber , T. lehrer that is .
