Thanks also to you, Woodie, for appreciating.
The drafting of this article has been also for me a good opportunity to learn something more about this amazing explorer!
This is a very worthy article to join quite a large collection of important bits of mountaineering history on SP now. I saw Nanga Parbat in 1987 and looked up to the summit 6000m above me - not many places you can look at such a great height difference. It made a big impression and your article really brings out what an extraordinary pioneer Mummery was to have tackled such a mountain, decades ahead of his time.
best wishes, Mark
