Hazel Grace, 8B+, for Shauna Coxsey
Shauna Coxsey has made the first female ascent of Hazel Grace, 8B+, on the Gotthard Pass, Switzerland.
20 women became Sport Climbing's first female Olympians tonight in Tokyo. Team GB's Shauna Coxsey placed 10th - a fantastic result given her injury struggles since qualifying two years ago.
Once again it's a late finish here and I'm writing this from the bus station, so stay tuned for a full report tomorrow. In the meantime check out our live Tweets feed - Day 2 for quotes from athletes and general observations from the ground.
