Image title: From Doran Pass. 23 Sep 1885 'Crest of the Durah Pass'. '23rd September, camp above Shah Salim. - A start for the Durah Pass was made at 7 a.m, and the crest was reached at 9.45, some of the officers riding the whole way to the top...We...ascended the Durah Pass, and found it wonderfully easy. It is, as Aman-ul-Mulk before told me, the only practicable avenue into his country, and could rapidly be made fit for wheels. No European, unless perhaps a Russian in disguise, has ever visited the pass, McNair having seen it from a long way off only...On the actual crest there was no snow, although it stood in frozen waves in many places on the west declivity [seen in foreground of print]'. [Albumen print, 278x216mm].
