In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Very impressive. Who could have guessed she was a woman, with a name like Emily?

In reply to Morgan Woods: have you not heard of Kinga Ociepka then, she's climbed 8c too!

so what? it sounds liek a great achievment in its own right....why drag out all these other names...it's not like the headline said it was the first 8c by a woman.

In reply to cidersoak: never heard of her so I did a quick google image search for her. Now either she's multi talented, or there are a few other eva lopez'z (lopi, lopezes, lopezs...) worth a look anyway
