I would add these to the Wiki, but my login details are no longer valid (no longer synced to forum login nor are old passwords valid).

Ace, remember watching her do a foundry 8a so this is a bit of a step down

Scanning 8a.nu I see Charlotte Garden has done Lightening and The Beer Tastes Good - both 8b at Yangshuo. Also making it onto the list are:  Alice Hafer (Single Life at Yangshuo and Ansia at Chulilla both 8a) and Jessica Mccaskey (Sufferance 8a at Dumbarton)

Yeah, driven is a good description. I climbed with her at Leeds once because two previous climbing partners that day had got tired and gone home. A few hours later I followed suit and I think she found another belayer afterwards!

Good stalking skills Dunc. I can trump you though, by pointing out that your very own landlord Michaela should be on the 8b list twice as well, having also climbed Love Amongst The Butterflies. My coat is already on....

Wicked Gravity 8b at Malham for Naomi Buys yesterday, her first at the grade.

Big tick personally for her for various reasons not least that she was eyeing the belay two years ago.

Lisa Alhadeff did Predator yesterday for her first 8b. Very proud other half here  :2thumbsup:.

P.s. is there any way the Wiki permissions can be sorted out? It'd be nice to get all the recent stuff put in.

That's a great effort. I've belayed a couple of decent climbers on that and they didn't make it look easy... and they've both climbed above 8b.

And for Lucy Mitchell - well, it just keeps coming from her!  :bow: :bow:
