Wow, super ladies. Thought you might like this epic historic photo showing Lucy Smith and Pauline Ranken ascending Salisbury

Crags in Edinburgh, Scotland. Here is the photo evidence that they did this climb while wearing long, ankle-length skirts, hats, blouses and smart shoes, in the year 1908!
The rocks of the Crags include columnar basalts and dolerite outcrops as 46-metre (151 ft) cliffs at the top of a subsidiary spur of Arthur's Seat, which rises on the west of Holyrood Park.
This climb posed dangers! The only protection these women had was a length of rope tied around each of their waists - they had no other safety equipment or protective gear, like helmets, harnesses or spikes.
In 1908, the ladies formed their own club -- the Scottish Climbing Club -- after being barred from joining the "for-men-only" Scottish Mountaineering Club. By 1909 the climbing club had fourteen members.
