Still missing:

Maddy - Bat Route 8c
Michaela - Love amongst the Butterflies 8b

Need a trad equivalent as well seeing as Hazel, Maddy and Emma have all climbed E9 - anyone else? How many other women have climbed E8, I can think of Michaela, Caro. Lucy Creamer perhaps? Then there is onsighting, any female E7 onsights?

Shouldn't Tanya Meredith be higher on the list for the Longridge traverse?

The list might be a tad unwieldly at 8a and upwards, there must be loads missing. I can think of two straight away and I'm not even 'in the know.'

Dan - Michaela is already on at 8b, I've moved Maddie up.
Think there was a trad thread somewhere, have a look.
Andy - Traverses don't count - thin end of the wedge innit, you'll want toproping or plastic next!
spidermonkey09 - stick 'em on!

It is somewhat arbitary, and my comment was tongue in cheek, but I still don't think it should count - for this list - of course it's much harder than 8a, but it's also not a sport route.

Moby Dick. Given that Amanda probably stopped on crux intermediate holds to clip as usual it could be 8b her way ;)

Moved Frances up, added Amanda, Anna, Charlotte, Gwen, Sarah, Zoe, and Emily.
Surely Hannah Slaney should be on here?? What's the world come to when you can win the world junior bouldering without an 8a tick  ;)

Oh and just remembered, Tessa Lyons (well, Silvestre now) climbed an 8a at Margalef last year. Not sure of the name, but it was a crimpy vertical wall at Finestra.

Hazel Dearlove from Loughborough climbed Aberration 8a at 16, and has since done Unleashing the Wild Physique 8a and Powerplant 8a at 17.
Out of interest, would anyone know the youngest female Brit to have climbed 8b?
