Not quite The Cave, but I read that Nina Caprez has done the first female ascent of Silbergier (8b/+) in the Ratikon:
http://www.planetmountain.com/english/News/shownews1.lasso?l=2&keyid=38308

Having climbed in the Ratikon once, I can testify that the approach drive is about 8a. We did a 7a+ and it was frickin nails. Also saw the biggest rockfall I've ever seen anywhere. Pretty intimidating place to be running it out and pulling on 8b razors...

Nice try Mr P, if you want a 7c+ tick theres plenty round, LF is easy to break down, no hard moves. And no busy/work/family excuses.

Jordan just repeated 'Traverse of the gods' at Longridge. Almost doing 'reverse of the gods' on the same night. Which even though its in effect the same holds, it climbs very differently.

Congrats Nike Air   :great:

Was down t'dale and watched Mawson walk up it.  Ruined my excuse about conditions on my route. Seriously impressive.

Cry freedom for Jordan, his third 8c. Lapping that Longridge shuffle must've been good for his stamina.  ;D
Another line of permadraws off the Catwalk?  ;)

This is outrageous

Obviously they're just picking problems which are in her style for her tick off like some sort of media circus, in order to bellittle my climbing achievements as much as possible.


(It's inspiring stuff isn't it imagine the potential for this young lass I hope she crushes the world to death!!!!!!!!)

I hope she don't .... its not the kind of death i have in mind.
I'd like a peaceful death, then after a good rest for my dead body, maybe 2 weeks i'm thinking, then be fed to the birds .... on some remote mountain ... i quite fancy that.
