Hazel Findlay repeats Birkett E9

Hazel Findlay has only gone and repeated Dave Birkett's 'Once Upon A Time in the South West'! Amazing work! First female ascent of an E9 surely!

I heard she was going to go for it today. Was wondering if she got it in the bag.

Nice one Hazel!!

Incredible achievement. She posted the news on Facebook a couple of hour's ago. Belayed by her dad.

Amazing! The UK girls have hit the heights in all disciplines recently with Shauna Coxsey and Emma Twyford cranking in bouldering and sport climbing respectively and now this!

From the UKC report on the FA:

Quote
What was the lead like?

A bit of a fight. You've got to stay positive as you are climbing for a while. I had to make a lot of the moves up. It was on-off a lot of the time. It was quite a fight up there, what with the rope drag. It's a big pitch.

No pushover for Birkett then & the route looks amazing:

Amazing ! As a side not i think Charlie Woodburn did it at the weekend as well (based on his facecrack status)  :great:

sounds like he and Hazel were working it at the same time.

Cheers
Tim

Just amazing. This is proving to be a fairly good year for hard routes betting done.

I didn't know William Hill took odds on such things.

I thought we all used the Largerstarfish bookie service for such things?
