In November we reported that Silvi Fitzpatrick, 42, from North Wales, climbed La Forqueta del Diablo o Romocop 8a+ at the Wild Side Sector, Sella in the Costa Blanca.

Since then, in between climbing instruction work, she has been very busy. At El Chorro.................

With comment from Silvi, on the ascent of El Oraculo 8b, a monster of a route.

Full report in the news.... http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
Good effort!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Bravo Silvi! Always nice to see one of us 40-somethings ticking something hard.
Oh well, I'd better get back into training I suppose.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

Fantastic effort Silvia. Always was so inspiring to see you climb - you really deserve the success, Bravo!

In reply to Mick:

Fantastic news!!

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
Well done to her, but incredibly unlikely that she's got the first ever female ascent of Lourdes!

In reply to Jon Read:

It was not clear in the text, but Silvi's ascent of Lourdes was in '93 and according to both the Spanish climbing press and local knowledge it was the first female ascent.

In reply to Simon Marsh:
Ok, fair enough; I assumed her ascent of Lourdes was but the other week. Thanks Simon.
