BARRIER TO EVEREST.
A DIFFICULT CLIMB. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received Nov. 8, 5.5 p.m. London, Nov. 7. Sir George Younghusband, at a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, announced that Mallery and Bullock had reached a point six thousand feet from the summit on one of the buttress ridges of Mount Everest, whence a way to the top is reasonably practicable. The expedition also surveyed thirteen thousand square miles of unknown country, the whole costing £5OOO. He added: “We now have to find six men, who, when exhausted by the increasing rarity of the atmosphere, can stand terrific blizzards and cold on those crucial two miles of knife edge ridges. May and June are the best months for 'climbing.”— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
