On the blog Shauna talks a little about giving it everything:
"I talk a lot about trying hard and putting every thing you can into a boulder which is something that has totally transformed my climbing this year and has definitely made me much stronger mentally and physically both in training and in competition. However, this is not something that I had ever tried to translate onto rock. I guess mainly because I rarely get outdoors. On this trip I have got onto boulders ready to try hard and get to the top. I have felt holds on a climb and thought 'as if I can hold that' and gone on to complete the boulder in a few tries and I have held on so tight that I cut the side of my finger. I climbed an amazing V11 called Whispers of Wisdom, a magical line of good spaced out holds up a steep wall with a 20m slab to finish. I don't think I have ever tried so hard on anything."

Shauna Coxsey has just returned from a fruitful trip to La Pedriza, Spain, where she climbed two 8B boulders and an 8B+ in the space of just four climbing days.
You goon. It doesn't even look close to being 15m... And for a Yorkshireman, you're sense of 'tongue in cheek' is abysmal. It's a little like doing a hard problem at Back Bowden, then making a point that you finished up an HVS. But then again, I might be reading it all wrong, and the top slab might be desperate...however she makes it look neither difficult nor 20m long, the first 3m however look like the living end.
