EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Dorothy Pilley Richards (1894-1986), a pioneering female mountaineer, as she explores the breathtaking landscapes of Glacier National Park in the late 1920s. Dorothy, a prominent figure in the mountaineering world, began her climbing adventures in Wales and later joined the prestigious Fell and Rock Climbing Club. Her passion for the sport led her to climb extensively in the Alps, Britain, and North America after her marriage to Ivor Armstrong Richards. In 1928, Dorothy made history with her celebrated first ascent of the north ridge of the Dent Blanche, an impressive feat she accomplished alongside Joseph Georges, Antoine Georges, and her husband. Her account of this remarkable achievement can be found in her well-regarded memoir, "Climbing Days," published in 1935. The Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News magazine featured Dorothy in its weekly Women in Sport section, commenting on her "light build and very active" demeanor. Those who climbed with her in the Lake District years prior were enthusiastic about her ability to tackle even the most challenging and technically difficult climbs. In this photograph, Dorothy is seen expertly navigating the rugged terrain, her focus unwavering as she secures the rope to the rocky outcropping. The stunning alpine scenery serves as the perfect backdrop to her determination and skill, showcasing both her passion for mountaineering and her remarkable accomplishments in the sport.
