cheers for sharing, saw the article and was wondering if there was a video of it.

Nice to see she went for the ground up attempts. Even the pro's come out with "I thought it was a jug".

Yes, a great wee video. It wasn't a ground-up ascent by most people's definition (this discussion has been had before).

Ah ok, it wasn't my intention for the thread to head that way. Still it's very impressive and like Gael says she comes across as a really nice person.

Nice vid as others have said....sport grade wise, would this be roughly a well protected 8a?

In reply to Morgan Woods:

A recent article in Climb/Climber notes it as about 8a+ and a likely contender for first 8a in the UK (despite being a trad route).
