George and Ashley Abraham

George Dixon Abraham (1871 to 1965) and Ashley Perry Abraham (1876 to 1951) were two brothers from Keswick in the English Lake District, sometimes called the Keswick Brothers. They worked as rock climbers, authors and photographers, and they are remembered above all for the photographic record they made of the pioneers of early rock climbing, especially Owen Glynne Jones, with whom they formed a close climbing partnership from 1896 until his death in 1899. Their own first ascents include the Keswick Brothers' Climb on Scafell crag in 1897 and Crowberry Ridge Direct on Buachaille Etive Mor in 1900. They also wrote guidebooks and mountaineering books, and were founding members of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club, whose first president was Ashley. Most of their work dates from between 1890 and 1920.
