Penelope Storey (d.1993)
My last memory of Penny is a fitting one. She asked me to lunch in her pretty Hampstead flat: it was a delicious lunch made festive by champagne. A few weeks later I heard that she had died.
She had to drop out ·of the climbing world (she was a member of the Pinnacle Club as well as the Ladies' Alpine and later the Alpine Club) after a stroke that kept her in hospital for several years and permanently disabled her. She had always been good company for a climb or a concert, or a meal and a talk. She worked at the Foreign Office for many years.
She had done climbs like the Bishorn and Weisshorn, Obergabelhorn and Arbengrat, Aiguille du Chardonnet by Forbes Arete. Her last climb was Mount Olympus.
