Monica Jackson (16 September 1920 – 7 April 2020) was a Scottish climber and a member of the first female expedition team to scale the Jugal Himal in the Himalayas.

[1] Monica Jackson was born in Kotagiri and grew up in the Biligirirangan Hills of southern India where her father Ralph Camroux Morris and her mother Heather (née Kinloch) were coffee planters.

[3][4] They managed to get to the previously unmapped Phurbal Chyachumbu glacier and made it to the 22,000 ft peak on the frontier of Nepal and Tibet.

[2] The Gyalgen or Gyalzen or Loenpo Gang East peak is on the border of the Nepalese Bagmati Province and China and it 6,151 metres (20,180 ft) high.

[9] From 2002 to 2003, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery had a show called On Top of the World that included pictures of Monica Jackson and her team.
