On Augest 22, 1874, Lucy walker climbed the biggest climb of her life, the Matterhorn. Why she did this is quite simple. It was, in fact, because of her rival Meta Broovert that she made the climb. You see, she found out about Meta's plan to climb it, and, dropping what she was doing, raced to get there first in white skirts, dieting on sponge cake and champagne.
