ABSTRACT DURING an extended cycling tour in the East, the authors spent the summer months of 1898 and the following year in the Himalayas. In the former season they penetrated from Srinagar,
which they had reached on their vehicles, into the mountains of Ladakh, Nubra, and Suru, and, later on, into Sikkim from Darjeeling. Next year they took with them Matthias Zurbriggen, who
had been guide to Sir Martin Conway on his memorable journey in, 1892, retracing his steps up the Biafo Glacier to the Hispar'Pass, and then making some important ascents in the
district about the Skoro La Pass. Altogether they were encamped for many days at altitudes not less than 16,000 feet, crossed several passes more than a thousand feet higher, and made the
ascent of three virgin icy summits, rising to heights of 18,600, 19,450, and 21,000 feet respectively. Thus Mrs. Workman not only is the first of her sex to do serious mountain work in the
Himalayas, but also has been higher than any of them above sea-level. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
