Fri. 25. [25 July 1902] Nasty morning, but we had a cheerful breakfast.
Then I walked down to Grindelwald got in at 10, had a bath and went
to sleep. The 3 came down too and we spent most of the afternoon
together and had a pleasant tea together. After dinner talked to Mrs
Vere O'Brien and walked up to the blacksmith's with Mr Wicks to fetch
his ice axe. Glorious magical silver night with every stone and snow
patch on the Eiger shining. The 3 started off for the Schreckhorn at 11
and did it up the face.
