Women Climbers of the '80s Part 1: It Wasn't Because They Weren't There

from Written in Stone: Climbing History · host Plug Tone Audio

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s! The history of women in climbing, in it’s written form, is woefully incomplete. In this, the first of a multi-part series, we attempt to correct some of these oversights by taking a look at not only the early '80s, but the years and accomplishments that laid the foundation for the women of the '80s.  In this episode, we discuss Bev Johnson, Sibylle Hechtel, Diana Hunter, Coral Bowman, Beth Bennett, Barbara Devine, Louise Shepherd, Catherine Destivelle, Jill Lawrence, Mari Gingery, Lynn Hill, and more.  Check out our website for related episodes, resources and more!
