Hill Climbers (Abraham Brothers - George and Ashley), climbing near Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England.

Most of their work was done between 1890 and 1920 and forms a valuable record of the evolution of early rock-climbing in the English Lake District. Date: circa 1905

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and determination embodied by George and Ashley Abraham, two pioneering hill climbers in the English Lake District during the early 1900s. The brothers, who made a significant contribution to the documentation of rock-climbing in Cumbria, are seen here tackling a steep and sheer cliff face near Keswick. Dressed in heavy woolen clothing and wearing harnesses, they ascend the hillside with a sense of focus and determination, their eyes fixed on the summit. The Lake District, with its rugged terrain and challenging climbs, was a mecca for mountaineers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. George and Ashley Abraham were at the forefront of this movement, making a photographic record of the exploits of many climbing pioneers, most notably Owen Glynne Jones. Their close climbing partnership with Jones, which began in 1896 and continued until his death in 1899, produced a valuable record of the evolution of early rock-climbing in the region. The brothers' work, which spanned from approximately 1890 to 1920, is a testament to their passion for the sport and their dedication to capturing its essence. The photograph, taken circa 1905, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of mountaineering, when the thrill of conquering a dangerous and steep cliff face was a source of immense pride and satisfaction. The image also serves as a reminder of the risks and challenges faced by early climbers, who pushed the boundaries of what was considered possible in the pursuit of adventure and exploration.
