Women climb Scafell Pike with kitchen sinks on their backs to fight gender norms

Climbing Scafell Pike is no easy feat – and that’s without lugging a sink on your back.

Teachers Emma, 36, and April, 40, and dental nurse Zena, 40, hiked the 978 metres up to the summit on July 9 in just six hours – all to raise money for domestic abuse charity Harbour.Emma, who is a co-founder of women’s only adventure group Wild Wanderers said: ‘We did the high heels challenge last year for Women’s Aid.

‘It was always going to be a kitchen sink because “women should be chained to the kitchen sink” is the expression that’s used quite widely.‘We found some abandoned kitchen sinks that people were getting rid of, spray painted them and wrote sexist, misogynistic words and comments [on them].’

Not exactly heavy tho are they, you can lift one with your pinky
