In a profound act of historical resurrection, modern day adventurer, Elise Wortley straps on her 19th Century hobnail boots and bonnet to celebrate forgotten female explorers, whose absence continues to have knock- on effects today.
Armed only with the gear available to Henriette D’Angeville in 1838, Elise attempts to recreate the first female ascent of Mont Blanc – Europe’s most iconic peak. In doing so, she explorers her own relationship with the outdoors and how it’s impacted a long battle with debilitating anxiety.
