Was chatting about this with a few friends the other day, trying to work out if there's more than 100 women in the UK who have climbed 8a recently (say last 5 years or so). I think probably not but I've really got no idea how many women in the UK are climbing around that level.

Off the top of our heads we came up with the following:

Mega wads:
Mina L-W, Mecca at the tor
Hazel Findlay, Fish Eye, spain
Emma Twyford, Various
Shauna Coxsey, Watermark at wildside?
Michealla Tracey?
Karin Magog, stuff in spain?
Lucy Creamer?
Katherine Schirrmacher?

Local wads:
Cherry Bedford, Cidersoak
Wendy Coles, Watermark at Wildside
Rhoslyn Frugniet, Cidersoak

No doubt missing many people out so who can we add to the list?
 
Madeleine Cope - Raindogs (and prob plenty others)
Rachel Slater - 8a stuff in Spain
Katie Whittaker - China Crisis 8b+
Kitty Wallace - Daniboy (8a @ age 14?)

Shauna, Michaela, Karin, Lucy - yes (I can't be bothered to list routes)

To add, for sure:
Lucy Mitchell
Lynne Malcolm
Jules Littlefair
Jenny Woodwood
Nat Berry
Katy Piddock
Charlotte Garden

Others may be able to confirm/deny:
Dalvinder?
I presume Naomi Buys?
Katy Forrester?
 
Mary Jenner did Bleed in Hell about 5 years ago; 8a on gear? (or is that a can of worms best left unopened).

Ako Shillitoe Supercool in 2012 (similar time to Lucy), think she also did The Bulge but my memory may be duff.

Katherine Schirrmacher powerplant last year plus other 8as I think.

Karin Magog did some 8bs in 2013
 
Natalie Tanzer I believe via Facebook... but she now lives in Spain, so not sure if that counts
 
I think Ruth Smitton falls within the 5yr cut off, and Julie Pearson with something in Spain last year.
