 * ... that Jeanne Immink (pictured) was the first female mountain climber to wear pants instead of a skirt?

 * Symbol question.svg What an interesting woman. However the hook worries me as I have read of other women using trousers to climb albeit after wearing skirts to approach and leave the climbing site. The ref is very clear and supports the hook so it would be possible to introduce weasel words like "it is said", alternatively maybe ...


 * (alt1)... that Jeanne Immink (pictured) was able to write "I challenge the male mountaineers to follow in my steps"?
 * Apart from that. The article is very readable, has lots of refs and supporting pics. Length is fine and so is age. No close paraphrasing spotted. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 09:13, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's a good point - the ref states the fact plainly but to be careful here's an alt2, and a separate alt3:
 * alt2: ... that Jeanne Immink (pictured) is credited as the first female mountain climber to wear pants instead of a skirt?
 * alt3: ... that 19th-century female climber Jeanne Immink (pictured) once wrote, "I challenge the male mountaineers to follow in my steps"? 97198 (talk) 10:30, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

for Alt3. Thanks for prompt attention. I think the reasons for preferring this alt are well described above and so is the detail to support this approval. I have not struck the other hooks as they are not "incorrect" and another may approve them. I wonder is that South African bloke who was abandoned by her ever realised he had a European mountain peak with his name on it :-) Thank you Victuallers (talk) 10:38, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
