The Bride Of Mont Blanc
Modern day adventurer, Elise Wortley, climbs Mont Blanc in 19th Century gear, reviving a forgotten pioneer’s ground-breaking ascent and confronting why women’s stories remain absent from the mountains.
In a profound act of historical resurrection, modern day adventurer, Elise Wortley straps on her 19th Century hobnail boots and bonnet to celebrate History’s forgotten female explorers, whose absence from history 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.
