In reply to Richard Bradley:

Apart from traverses, which Josune has done, 8b/v13 is the top end that a women has climbed. And even that is debatable as most think Pura Vida is 8a+/v12 now. Which means if it is, V12 is the top grade a women has climbed. And considering V9 isn't Leah's top grade, it doesn't sound as bad as your making out.
