Becky Wilby has done Armed Response 8A+ in Rocklands.

Plus a bunch of UK 8As - from her instagram she's done Supergene, Tourniquet and Backhand into Flying Finish, all this year.

--

Perhaps time to shorten the list to 8A and up? There are too many 7C's to list.

[Duncan campbell]

K-Whiddy did the Hatchling I’m SA last year... think that’s 8A?

Down to 7C/+ in the new book.

What's the thinking on bumping the entry requirements up to 7C+ or even 8A? would make it quite a short list, but maybe 7C is overly long? Is there loads of 7C women out there?

This list is significantly shorter than either of the two men's lists so seems strange to change the threshold of this one. There if there turns out to be a welter of female 7C ascents then maybe reconsider but at the moment I am finding it interesting just as it is.

Similar thoughts from me, was just wondering whether my knowledge of women who've climbed 7C is lacking and there's loads missing.

[Duma]

Rhos has done a few 7C+'s (AWOL Apprentice RH, Caroline, poss some others). Llinos Cassidy has done Fat Cat Roof at Dinas if that is still considered 7C.

I suspect there's lot's of 7C women out there that aren't on the list.

Must be loads of 7C women. This list hasn't been updated for two years. But perhaps 7C+ is still fairly infrequent.

Some from a quick look on 8a.nu, plus some I knew about...
Jo Allen, Backstreet Mime Artist, 8A, Burbage (remove from 7C list)
Gill Peet, Moreau's Island 7C+/8A, Hyning Wood (her slash, gets 8A elsewhere)
Naomi Cokell, Megalithe 7C+, Font
Charlotte Garden, The Departed and Caroline, 7C+, Rocklands (remove from 7C list)
Rachel Carr, Caroline 7C+, Rocklands
Helen Dudley, Iceberg (aller-detour) 7C+, Font

[r-man]

Also, from a look on UKC...
Katie Maxwell - Working 9-5 stand & Caroline, both 7C+ (move from 7C list)
Jess bt, Working 9-5 - White Mazda Clan, Eye of Sauron, Weichei, Caroline, all 7C+

I think these lists are great, however, its a shame its doesn't really capture the amount of climbing an individual has done.

For example, the likes of Nia Fletcher, who I personally think is one of the most impressive on this list, she has probably done upwards of 75 7C and above, 10 of which are 8A. (With almost no recognition).

Likewise, Mina, super impressive, consistently climbed hard on a range of styles, rock types and some absolutely world class boulders, racking up one hell of a tick list.

^^ These are the kind of people that get me psyched to go climbing. Good on you.

Thanks for the updates one and all https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_boulders.md

Totally agree on the volume thing, just plucking the top couple of ascents doesn't do anything to demonstrate consistency at a grade which can be very impressive in it's own right. Tricky to capture it in list form, though, without it getting a bit overboard in terms of maintenance.

Preach. Was a privilege to see Nia absolutely smash Fat Lady, really was a blink and you'll miss it moment, then she pretty much just smiled and cracked on with the next one. Awesome.

That must make her one of the most prolific Uk female boulderers ever and hardly anyone’s heard of her.

[turnipturned]

I would say so.

Compared to some with thousands of followers who don’t do a lot.

Nia's log book (hopefully that should go straight to the boudering)

Fuck me, she's done The Pinch on the back of the Calf. That's enough to put her on the list on its own.

[SA Chris]

Holy crap. That's what prolific looks like.

What's the entry requirements for this list now? 7C or 8A?
If it's the former, Evelyn Dearlove climbed Enchantress 7C at Forest Rock today.
