Climbing Mountains
Gertrude Benham was born in England in 1867. She had made 130 climbs in the European Alps before going
to the Canadian Rocky Mountains in 1904, where she spent the summer climbing. In 1904, the paths of
Gertrude Benham and Charles Fay briefly crossed. He had spent several successful summers climbing in the
Rocky Mountains. In fact, he was so successful that the Geographical Board of Canada asked him to select a
mountain to take his name.
