    Summary:

    Since the early days of exploration, adventurous women have felt the pull of the mountains. Women of the early 1900s climbed some of the highest peaks in Canada wearing woollen knickers and hobnail boots. These pioneers set the standard for the women who followed, such as Sharon Wood and Leanne Allison, who continue to push the limits even further. 2003.
