Today in history,
Freda du Faur climbed Mount Cook in New Zealand in a record six hours. She was the first woman to scale the peak and the first unmarried woman to climb in New Zealand. NOTICE SHE IS WEARING A SKIRT although according to Wikipedia she had on knickerbockers and
long puttees underneath.
If you would like to learn more about Freda du Faur and her mountaineering feats she did write a book called
The conquest of Mount Cook and other climbs; an account of four seasons' mountaineering on the Southern Alps of New Zealand
.
Who or what inspires you today?
Not only a skirt, but a WHITE blouse and cameo at the neck. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteImagine what she could have done in polartek.
Webb,
ReplyDeleteI snickered at your observation, but so true.
