Kitty Tatch and Katherine Hazelstine or Hazelston, also nicknamed “Kitty,” nearly can-can themselves off Overhanging Rock in the late 1890s. The pair were waitresses in Yosemite’s Sentinel Hotel and apparently shared a cat-like indifference to stomach-churning drops. Their famous cliff-edge dance was captured by photographer George Fiske. | src San Francisco Gate

Kitty Tatch was a maid and waitress at the Sentinel Hotel in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Dressed in long wide skirts identifying her clearly as a woman, she danced and did high kicks at Overhanging Rock, 3,000 feet above the Valley, on Glacier Point with her friend Katherine Hazelston as George Fiske photographed them. These pictures were later made into postcards, autographed by Tatch, and sold for years. / quoted from National Park Service > Women of Yosemite : The Adventurers
