Celebrate the United Nations’ International Year of Mountains by reading about Phyllis (Phyl) Munday, female mountaineer extraordinaire. In 1924 she became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Robson. Despite early-onset arthritis, she climbed 100 mountains, many of which were first ascents. Munday also gave a life-time of service to her community as a member of the Girl Guide movement and St. John’s Ambulance. mRb
