Nea Morin

Morin climbed in the Alps in the 1920s, joined the Ladies' Alpine Club, and met many climbers in the French Groupe de haute montagne [fr].

[1] In 1941 Morin had made the first ascent of Clogwyn Y Grochan the route, which is 230 feet high and graded very severe 4b, is named Nea.

[2] She also led on an ascent of Curving Crack on Clogwyn du'r Arddu (the Black Cliff).

[3] In 1959, she was the only woman in the team of six British climbers who attempted to make the first ascent of 6812 meter high Ama Dablam in Nepal.

She frequently climbed with her daughter, Denise, who went on to marry the surgeon and Everest mountaineer Charles Evans in 1957.
