52. Annie Smith Peck


The north peak of Mount Huascaran in Peru was names after the professor who conquered it, Annie Smith Peck(1850-1935). No American woman in this hemisphere had climbed higher: nearly 22, 000 feet.

  1. Wow, look at the thickness of the rope and the cunbersomeness of the clothing that she had to wear back then just to climb a mountain. It's no wonder that many women didn't try to do it.
