Evelyn McNicol

The other mountaineers from the Ladies' Scottish Climbing Club were Cynthia Marr, Elizabeth "Betty" Stark and Elma Wrench.

[5] At age 28, McNicol (then Evelyn Camrass) was the youngest member of the first recorded all-women mountaineering trip to the Himalayas, along with Monica Jackson and Elizabeth Stark.

[3] During this expedition they explored the previously unmapped Phurbal Chyachumbu glacier,[6] and made the first ascent of Gyalgen Peak, a 22,000 feet mountain on the border of Nepal and Tibet, which they named after their head Sherpa.

[4] On 11 May 1955, Stark and Jackson reached the summit of Gyalgen Peak, but McNicol was suffering altitude headaches and remained at their last camp.

[9] From 2002-2003 the Scottish National Portrait Gallery had an exhibition called On Top Of The World which included pictures of McNicol and her team.
