Archive: the Pinnacle Club centenary exhibition visited Buxton in 2021. The Green Man Gallery closed to the public in December 2024.
The Pinnacle Club celebrated its centenary with an exhibition at The Green Man Gallery in Buxton in 2021.
The Pinnacle Club was founded in 1921 to encourage women’s rock climbing. At the time of the 2021 exhibition, the club had more than 160 members. It brings together experienced climbers; in its centenary year, members supported organisations helping beginners.
For its centenary, the club created a website and held exhibitions in Buxton, Langdale and London. Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the centenary project shares its history through photographs, recordings, films and other material.
The exhibition explored the club’s history and its members’ experiences of climbing and the outdoors.
The exhibition included watercolours, linocuts, oil paintings, photographs and sculptures by past and present members.
Books by club members were also on sale at the exhibition. Explore the Pinnacle Club Centenary Project.
