Awesome. 2nd British women to climb 8b+
Quite a neat connection between her name and the name of the route, too.
That's very impressive, especially from someone who (from outside the scene) is usually portrayed as being focused on bouldering.I probably shouldn't ask this, but is this the first female ascent of Mecca? I don't remember hearing about any others, what with the pool of women who climb 8b+ AND who are likely to be at Raven Tor for more than about 5 seconds being pretty small.
I see from his scorecard that he did staminaband - pump up the power recently too. Beast.
someone pulled him off before he did the extension...
Witnessed the most stoically impressive climb of my life so far yesterday, caff crushed the crux pitch of the long hope route 3rd attemptIt was more the fact the winds were gusting upto 50mph and it was raining when he lead it which blew me away. Not big wall connys!

Perhaps it was missing some punctuation..."stoically, impressive"....would then mean he climbed without fuss and it was impressive to witness.

I know it is pretty, sorry
