This talk will explore Ruth Mallory's story, wife of Everest climber George, and a founder member of the Pinnacle Club, the first all female rock climbing club in Britain.
In the four years from her marriage to George in 1914 to the end of the First World War, she had three children, learned to lead climbs and even made one first ascent.
