...plus, there could be some commentary on the last paragraph in that text!
“Women rock climbers are hampered by a lack of arm and shoulder strength on strenuous climbs”…. “In the future, it seems likely that more women will continue to do harder climes,and there will undoubtedly come a time when women will develop important new routes”
Ha!

Spent a really interesting evening in Torino, Italy, once, with Wanda. We were there for one of Messner's "White Wilderness" conferences. Many of the invited guests were hanging out late one evening in the Hotel bar. Wanda and I got into an intense conversation that went on into the wee hours. She didn't seem to have a great sense of humor - nor did she seem to need one. Whether the conversation was focused on being a top woman climber and the attendant responsibilities to her gender, or the idea of climbing in pure alpine style in the Himalaya, Wanda lasered in on the subject with a seriousness I've encountered with few other climbers. She reminded me a bit of Lynn Hill in that respect, although I've seen Lynn get a little silly and giggly; something I never witnessed with Wanda. I was left with the impression that she was very aware of her role in openning new opportunities for women in climbing. Wanda was a professional, totally devoted to her sport: strong, beautiful, worthy of and demanding complete respect. We agreed that when both of our schedules allowed, we would get together for a climb. But there was just a hint of a lonesome sadness at the edges, a vulnerability that began to appear in the corners of her eyes at 1:00 am, just before we bade each other goodnight, retiring to our respective chambers. I was looking forward to continuing to get to know this woman whose currents ran so obviously deep, but alas, it was not to be, as Wanda perished just a few months later.
