I'd never heard of her before so by the power of Google I discovered she only did her first E5 last month! Presumably she's another from the production line of super strong junior comp climbers who are now popping outdoors and climbing mega hard?

She's a product of old school trad hero Howard Lancashire.

Seems to be a Lancashire thing...
Tall AND good, bastard.
Dunno how significant it would be considered by the UKB elders but Ali Kennedy climbed Muy Caliente on Saturday. Disappointingly smooth ascent with not even a power scream or bit of disco leg. Was hoping for at least one of those if not a whip off the safe crux. Impressively
Final straw for me.

Young James Turnbull has just climbed Bat Route 8c, absolutely amazing achievement considering he climbed his first 8a only 5 months ago. 8a-8c in 5 months! Good effort.

Watched him do his first 8a this spring, such good rapid progression made me wonder and from my perspective it seems to boil down to 3 thingsStudent time zoneBouldering backgroundGo for it attitude, skipping clips.
