Jane Inglis Clark

During the First World War, Inglis Clark was a Voluntary Aid Detachment Commandant[clarification needed] for the Red Cross.

With a natural aptitude for climbing difficult routes, from 1897 to 1904, Inglis Clark was part of six first ascents on Ben Nevis.

The Club's purpose was "to bring together Ladies who are lovers of mountain-climbing, and to encourage mountaineering in Scotland, in winter as well as in summer.

"[3] Inglis Clark wrote about her mountaineering experiences in her book Pictures and Memories, published in 1938, which also commemorates women’s increased participation in climbing.

We may go out tired and worn in mind and body; we return renewed and restored: health re-established and friendships strengthened.
