A good hiking buddy of mine did Whitney in the '50s, dragged up there by his friends. He did it in dress shoes. He made the summit, his buddies didn't.

I'd bet the photo is either fake or doctored. First clue is that the other two people are dressed for weather.

Naah she probably just brought the change of clothes up with her for the pic. The heels look way too big.
Also her shadow is a perfect match.

I like it! I know they didn't hike up there with the fashion gear but I remember seeing a group of tourist's on top of Half Dome and some of the women were wearing pumps!! They hiked in with em and had their little water bottles they were holding too.
