Truly awesome. Imagine having ticked Mecca and CT within 6 months of each other, how cool must that be for a Peak enthusiast? Have many done both?

Fuck this is awesome. Much more impressive for some reason than all those V11's in the states she did recently.

Amazing to do, even more amazing ground up. How much harder is the start for shorties? A lot I'm guessing

I don't think the start is harder for shorties, but the top most certainly is.

Probably because its an iconic British line and needs more than just strength (unlike a lot of American stuff). Maybe even a more impressive achievement than Mecca..

I think it's by far the most significant boulder ascent by a British woman. I hope there's more to come from Mina.

It’s apples and oranges but I’d say a ground up ascent of CT is a fair bit more impressive than doing Mecca

I concur that GUing careless is definitely more impressive than doing Mecca.

Caroline Sino (of Crimp Oil fame) has just done Lethal Design in Red Rocks. She's super talented and improving at a very fast rate.

Seems like the problem is a long, steep, crimpy V12. Here's a vid of someone attempting a flash.

Changed that for you. She's obviously a total wad.

Who's going to be the first brit female to do 8c then? And which route?

The lethal design vid said the guy was called Ben but I'm pretty sure it was nige.

Devil in the details looks cool but out of everyone under 6ft5's league. It must be a second ascent Will unless Willenburg came over and added a sitter

Thanks Tom!

I thought it was going to be a straight forward dyno but I was very wrong, the jug wasn't nearly as juggy as I was hoping it to be, and the E5 start is one of the most terrifying routes I've ever done!  :o

Nice one for putting it up, it's a fantastic route :)

Nice one Will - like the way you have to lay one on for the last move - after the hard one ;)
Effort.
