Biografie:
geborene Whymper (Tochter von Edward Whymper)

Mrs Ethel Blandy We report with much regret the death on 14 November 1969 of Mrs Ethel Blandy, nee Whymper. She inherited her great love of the mountains from her father, Edward Whymper. In her younger days she was quite a distinguished climber and was a member of the Ladies' Alpine Club up to the time of her death. In February 1965 she came to London to open the very interesting exhibition at the Ceylon Tea Centre in Lower Regent Street organised by the Swiss National Tourist Office in connection with the centenary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn. She was also a prominent figure at the centenary celebrations at Zermatt later the same year. Mrs Blandy was a very charming person and will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
