And Nobody Woke Up Dead: The Life and Times of Mabel Barker - Climber and Educational Pioneer

Jan Levi
£16.00

Mabel Barker, a child of the 1880s, grew up with a secret passion for the hills. To her, rock climbing was the sport of gods; she could not believe her luck when Millican Dalton, famous caveman of the Lake District, invited her to do a roped climb. Supremely talented and naturally fearless, she was soon climbing with the best climbers of the day, making a stunning fourth ascent of Central Buttress with her dear friend and climbing partner C.D.Frankland. This book tells the heart-warming story of a woman who lived life to the full and fought for what she believed in.
