Lucy Smith and Pauline Ranken ascending Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh, Scotland, wearing long, ankle-length skirts, hats, blouses and smart shoes, in 1908.

The rocks of the Crags include columnar basalts and dolerite outcrops as 46-metre (151 ft) cliffs.

The only protection they had was a length of rope tied around each of their waists.

In 1908, the women formed the Scottish Climbing Club -- after being barred from joining he "for-men-only" Scottish Mountaineering Club.
