Apart from the dates in the cairn on Kanchenjunga in SD it's hard to tie down a year for the books
There's also the date of the alliance in SA, though that gives a different chronology by one year. I assume that the reason why the Kanchenjunga dating is usually preferred is that it's backed up by the footnote in SD about Mixed Moss, which makes SD no earlier than 1931.
