Women with Altitude
Women With Altitude
From November 2021 to January 2022, the Alpine Club hosted a joint exhibition in partnership with the Pinnacle Club to celebrate the last century of female mountaineering. Held in the centenary year of the Pinnacle Club, the exhibition profiled 12 pioneering female climbers who had been members of one or both clubs in the previous 100 years. With the exhibition's run now at an end, we are making the exhibition materials available online. These include the complete displays for each of the 12 profiled women, a video walk through of the exhibition hosted by Alpine Club librarian Beth Hodgett and a collection of educational resources for young people that were produced to accompany the exhibition.
The sampling of the banners included below fearyre QR codes which, when scanned, will direct you to a sound recording of the profiled individual or a contemporary reading of something they wrote during their lifetime. To scan the QR code, simply click on the banner, select to expand it by using the icon in the top left corner of the image, focus on the QR code using your phone's camera and follow the link that is generated. The audio recording will play automatically.
