Natalija Gros flashes 8A

© UKC News
Philippe Ribiére reports, Natalija Gros has made, what I think must be, the first female flash of an 8A, with her ascent of Confessions of a crap artist at Chironico. A Slovenian team has spent a few days in the area training and having fun on the boulders it seems. More information, in Slovenian, can be found at Alpikor.
The first woman to flash 7C+, was Josune Bereziartu, with Schwarzwaldklinik in the Frankenjura waaaay back in the day (1999?).

Oh... yes it it! Sorry, I just assumed... and didn't really look. Sorry about that!About the grade, I'd say grades are extremely difficult to begin with, and if you flash something really hard... well, it's most likely not going to feel hard for the grade, is it?
