00:00So they had this meeting on the 26th of March 1921 at the Penny Gurid Hotel which they then
00:06announced in the Manchester Guardian. Those founder members were quite middle-class,
00:13sometimes titled ladies, but they were also, despite that, stifled. They were different,
00:20they were doing what they wanted to do and what was right for them. We're not a club of protesters,
00:26we're a club of people who go out there and do it. When you come to the Pinnacle Club,
00:31there's women up into their 80s and that's just so inspiring as a young woman.
00:43I mentioned something about the older members and John said to me and said,
00:48gee, we are the older members because I was still...
00:53You still think of yourself as the younger ones.
00:56You still think of yourself in your prime, don't you?
00:58The things they've done and the matter-of-fact way they've done them, it's just been completely inspiring.
01:06The Pinnacle Club has made me a better climber and it's made my life better as well, I suppose, in
01:12lots of ways.
01:13The Pinnacle Club.
