The research critically appraised how Indigenous Welsh women 1 navigate gender, class, and racial landscapes in mountain leisure to create inclusive spaces. Facilitated by a National Charitable Organization (NCO) that engages Indigenous Welsh communities in mountain adventure, we explored women’s embodied experiences through mobile video ethnography. Methodologically embodiment facilitated a way of capturing bodily sensations and experiences, which provided a language to express those ideas through reflexive analysis ( Ellingson, 2017 ). The findings highlight how women embody cultural identity in the mountains, which contributes to understanding issues of exclusion/inclusion in adventure spaces. Information © The Authors 2023

A Throw-to-Target Task and the Purdue Pegboard were administered to undergraduate students matched for age and program of study. A two-way ANOVA (Sex x Sexual Orientation) of the Throw data showed a significant interaction, F(1, 90) = 16.22, p < 0.001, and a trend for an effect of sex, F(1, 90) = 3.72, p < 0.06. Heterosexual men outperformed heterosexual women, whereas gay men threw less accurately and lesbians tended to throw more accurately than their heterosexual counterparts. Differences in sports history or hand strength did not account for these effects. Analysis of the Pegboard scores found no interaction or main effect of sexual orientation, but the effect of sex was significant, F(1,63) = Z01, p < 0.02. Regardless of sexual orientation, women outperformed men and this difference remained significant even when a measure of finger size was partialed out. This study provides new evidence suggesting an association between sexual orientation and motor-performance profiles. As with cognitive tasks, the motor-performance profiles of homosexuals are composites of some male-typical and some female-typical abilities. To the extent that sociological factors have been controlled, the study suggests that both sexual orientation and motor/cognitive predispositions may have early biological contributions.

Variation in red paint mixtures was correlated with changing ceramic types and improvements in process and firing techniques. We have confirmed the use of specular hematite on Coner ceramics by the difference in intensities of Raman bands. Different compositions of brown paint were correlated with imported and local wares. The carboniron composition of the ceramic type, Surlo Brown, was confirmed. By combining micro-Raman analysis with micro-ATR infrared and SEM-EDX, we have achieved a more comprehensive characterization of the paint mixtures. These spectroscopic techniques can be used non-destructively on raw samples as a rapid confirmation of ceramic type.

Mountaineers pursue risk, seeking adventures that present challenges beyond what is known both physically and intellectually. Mountaineering has long been acknowledged as a masculine endeavour. Historically, it provided white Western men with an opportunity to 'perform adventurous masculinities', with many accounts of the heroic deeds performed by men dominating bookshelves, cinemas and other media. Participation in mountaineering is a radical form of escape from everyday routines, pursuing 'otherness' through sensations of risk; or, as Lyng describes it, 'edgework'. Lyng's conceptualization of 'edgework' points to the sensations associated with life-and-death situations and how these act to disrupt the social self. While a mountaineer's perception of their world is shaped by many people, plac...

In parallel, in the UK there is a growing demand for climbing and mountaineering holidays, including skills-based courses (Mintel, 2015). Gender-specific data on participation is not available, although these studies suggest that women prefer walking over rock climbing and mountaineering activities. Furthermore, the British Mountaineering Council's (BMC, personal communication, November 4, 2019) membership also suggests that these activities are preferred more by men, as their female membership has largely remained static since 2006 (25%) at just 28% in 2019. What is unclear from these studies is why walking, a softer mountaineering activity, is more appealing to women than harder forms of mountaineering activities, such as rock climbing, ice climbing and mixed climbing. Women are also underrepresented in the UK's national mountain leadership qualifications. In 2017, Mountain Training reported that only 19% of those completing national mountaineering qualifications were women (personal communication, March 23, 2017). The most senior qualification in the UK is the British Mountain Guide (BMG IFMGA), which enables qualified leaders to guide internationally. In 2017 there were only 7 (5.1%) registered women BMGs and this remained unchanged in 2019, further illustrating the gender imbalance in mountaineering.

For the first time, this research has traced patterns of behaviour, from the earliest instances through to the present day, so as to explore the emotional and sensorial experiences of female mountaineers in the UK. Using experimental go-along and mobile video ethnographic techniques empirical data was co-produced in situ during eight day-long mountaineering expeditions. The empirical findings produced an expanded notion of ‘mountaincraft’, incorporating gender specific pedagogies of learning, adaptation and teaching, as well as an understanding, in particular, how silence is used to develop a wider sensorial attunement to risk, and also tactics for managing fear. Exposure to risk through mountaineering was found to be a chief motivation and manner by which women achieved a sense of wellbeing...

This edited volume begins to consolidate the emergent field of Feminist Physical Cultural Studies (FPCS) and in doing so extends knowledge in the broader canon of physical cultural studies. It does so through applying feminist new materialist approaches within a social justice agenda to understand how gender politics and relations are produced and negotiated in physical culture.

Gender, Politics and Change in Mountaineering: Moving Mountains, 2023

It provides original theoretical, methodological and empirical insights into mountain spaces as sites of socio-cultural production and transformation. This international collection features contributions from leading and emerging researchers, many of whom are mountaineers. We apply a broad definition to who a mountaineer is, to include mountaineering, climbing, alpinism and mountain walking. Common to all these activities is the embodied nature of performing and making bodily connections between the human and non-human worlds of snow, rock and ice. The volume is interdisciplinary, representing scholars from theoretical as well as applied perspectives across adventure, tourism, sport science, sports coaching, psychology, geography, sociology and outdoor studies. In addition, it offers theoretical and empirical insights across feminist, intersectional, poststructural, humanistic, affective and material adventure sporting perspectives. Ultimately, we aim to appreciate how gender matters in the twenty-first century, and the need for greater efforts to mainstream difference in representations and governance structures if we are to improve equality in adventure sporting and leisure spaces.

Julie Rak argues that Junko’s autobiography Honouring High Places (2017) is a historic feminist intersectional account of women’s contribution to mountaineering on Everest. Yet globally Junko’s achievements are little known, and her memoir is not recognised as a mountaineering classic. Drawing on Junko’s autobiography, this chapter critically appraises how she navigated the gendered and racialised landscape of mountaineering to create transformational spaces for herself and a global community of women mountaineers. In doing so, it offers insight into how women navigate adventure spaces at the intersection of difference and what this can teach us about inclusion in spaces of adventure.
