After her severe childhood eczema lessened, her life changed for ever when she was introduced to the Snowdonia hills, although Barbara's allergy to raindrops & her own sweat remained. Barbara was among other things: a female Mountain insructor / Mountain rescuer / first aider/ the first civilian female to train infantry junior soldiers/ A Solo explorer in Falklands/ A Solo pilot of a Cessna flight 40 hours round Florida... Itching to Climb tells the story of one women's undaunted spirit in the face of adversities, of a life spent facing challenges head-on, with a single minded determination to achieve despite the difficulties that life had laid in her way. This is a story of encouragement and hope for anyone who suffers with eczema, or any similar debilitating condition.
