Pinnacle Club

The Pinnacle Club is a women's climbing club based in the United Kingdom.

Though the Fell & Rock Climbing Club, established 1906 for Lake District climbing, was open to both men and women, women were excluded from many climbing clubs. A Ladies' Alpine Club was founded in 1907 and the Ladies' Scottish Climbing Club in 1908. After advertisements in the Manchester Guardian in 1920, the Women's Rock Climbing Club was founded at a meeting chaired by Eleanor Winthrop Young at the Pen Y Gwrid Hotel in Llanberis on 26 March 1921. The name was subsequently changed to the Pinnacle Club.
