UKC

This week at Hueco Tanks, Jody Hansen, age 29 from Colorado climbed Rumble in the Jungle a V12 or Font 8a+, joining a small but growing group of women climbers to climb at that level.

Adam Lincoln reports from El Paso, Texas......http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/older.html?month=02&year=2008#n42677

In reply to Mick Ryan - Editor - UKC: Any female 'sends' of V13 or above?

In reply to Richard Bradley:

Maybe Josune?

In reply to Richard Bradley:

There was a mention of a possible V13 here:

Amazing news! It's really encouraging hearing about female ascents of very hard problems.

In reply to Jenn: Thanks for that. Adam Lincoln is looking good after the sex change!

In reply to Jenn:

There was mention of more than that, if you read the whole thread. Go to 8a.nu and look at Josune Bereziartu's socrecard...

In reply to robin mueller:

But no V13...Font 8b up problems done yet by a women?

In reply to Mick Ryan - Editor - UKC:

Well, none that I've heard of.

It makes sense that the hardest problems done are stamina problems - seems like many of the hardest mens problems are stamina link ups too - Wheel of Life 8C+, Hydrangea 8C/8C+...

In reply to robin mueller:

Sorry - no, I didn't see that bit.

In reply to Richard Bradley:

Yes, I'm quite glad that UKC doesn’t allow aviators

In reply to Jenn:

yeah they'd be flyin' all over the place

In reply to Jenn:

There's quite enough testosterone flying around this place already.

Question: Josune has done two Font 8b...V13 low level traverses. Do these count as boulder problems?
