The Prince de la Moscowa might've gotten a corridor in the Vignemale named after him, but Anne wasn't forgotten either.

There is a pass above the "Corredor de la Moskowa" that is named "Col Lady Lyster".

14/08/1838, Anne and Ann stop to buy and eat some grapes when Charles, their guide, tells them a curious tale:

"Charles told us how Cazos had deceived the Prince de la Moscowa – had told him that I had not gone to the top –"

😨

"had told him that I had not gone to the top – was sick on the glacier, & could not get farther than the little pic – but the guides had gone to the top –"

Anne had indeed been sick, but she continued nonetheless and reached the top of Vignemale at 1 p.m. on the 7 of August

Understandably, this tale doesn't sit well with Anne:

"annoyed – would not pay Cazos till this was cleared – either I had gone to the top or not – if I had it should be avowed – if not, I would not pay –"
