Thanks T_B, https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_boulders.md

Agreed Cheque. This is the post where she's first mentioned so I guess Andy might know her?

Hazel Findlay joins the ranks with her ascent of Corridors of Power https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_boulders.md

She says 7C+ on Insta.

Sorry, confusing thread name...the list is actually women who have climbed 7C or harder as 8A was too selective. Any chance of a thread name change shark?

[Duma]

Doh! and it was me that suggested 7C...

Don't think Mina's done 8B

think your grade cut off is a bit high if you want a comparable list to the men >=8B, 7Cish would be closer to the mark I think

New name for the list:

Emily Fell - Peckitt's Traverse (amongst others)

Met her and Jonny the other day, lovely couple.

Rebecca Stephens has done Ash Tree Wall which I believe is 7C? As well as the Noisy Cricket at Stronsay Bank Quarry and Lizard King (7B+/C?)

[SA Chris]

well into 50s now! (number on the list, not age).

Ace! Always good to see some new names on the list https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_boulders.md

Rachel Daly has done Not Bad Dave, Ash Tree Wall and Hell Boy all at 7C, not bad in her first 2 years of outdoor climbing! Dropped the finishing jug on a 7C+ recently too..

Not taking anything away from her but First 2 years? Shes been going outside for years. More like 4.

Paths the undercut section at the start 

Kroenen probably isn't far off 8A either. Well good after only two years climbing.

Strong work! https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_boulders.md

[monkey boy]

Rebecca Stephens has done Kroenen (7C+), her first of the grade.

[monkey boy]

Also Gwyneth Uttley did Ben's Roof a few weeks ago, not sure what grade that is considered now.

[User deactivated]

Thea Cameron has done Grand Opera 7C or 7C+ (unsure what consensus
is) and Tanya Meredith has done Left Wall High 7C.

[User deactivated]

Kitty Morrison did Caroline in Rocklands too.

Thanks for the updates both, exemplary knowledge https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_boulders.md

Ben's is down as 7C on the list. It gets 7C+ on ukc but I think that's just a hold over from the days when people didn't know knees existed.

Grand Opera seems to just tip in to 7C+ on UKC, though if someone wants to make an argument for 7C Im all ears as I've not done it and have no opinion.

Any thoughts on what Caroline gets these days? I haven't seen the new guide, though it seemed pretty generous at 7C+ to me.

[sdm]

Caroline is 7C+ in the 2018 guide.

Seemed to be the consensus on most places when I was researching problems for a potential trip.

[monkey boy]

Grand Opera is easier than Ben's in my opinion but I haven't done ben's with the knee and grand is easier if you're tall. Does that help

I thought Caroline was 7C but I know a lot consider it 7C+.

Ha, clear as day now!

I'll leave Carloine as 7C+ then.

[Bradders]

I found Grand a lot harder than Impropa and Inaudible Vaudeville, but know others who've had the complete opposite experience.

I'd go with UKC consensus Remus.

My daughter, Hannah Toward (12) did Tension Set at the cuttings Boulderfield just before lock down (sorry proud dad, again). Thanks to UKB for the suggestion.

NOTE. It is given 7C+ but a hold broken off last year from the start (see UKC). So she started on an undercut under the start hold. According to a friend who did it the same way and also did the sit start (8B). It is still 7C/+.

[monkey boy]

Other people for the list are - Rowanne Bennett-Waters (Dr Crimp, Paint it Black and Power Strips, 7C) and Michelle Greenall (stalker on the Horizon, 7C).
