EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1931 in the breathtaking Lake District. The famous Wastwater Screes, once deemed unscalable, have become a playground for a group of adventurous climbers from Newcastle. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are drawn to the rugged beauty of the towering rocks that make up these formidable screes. With ropes securely fastened and determination etched on their faces, these brave mountaineers have conquered what was once thought impossible. Amongst this daring party is an unexpected sight - a young girl fearlessly joining in on this exhilarating adventure. Breaking gender norms of her time, she stands as a symbol of empowerment and resilience. The scene captures not only the triumph over nature's challenges but also showcases the camaraderie shared amongst these climbers. Their passion for mountaineering has brought them together in pursuit of conquering new heights. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder that boundaries are meant to be pushed and limitations are merely illusions waiting to be shattered. It encapsulates an era where exploration reigned supreme and where human spirit soared amidst nature's grandeur. Preserved by NCJ Archive through Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable snapshot invites us to reflect upon our own aspirations and reminds us that with courage and perseverance, even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome.
