Nina Caprez has made the first female ascent of the Pou-brothers' 500 m multi-pitch Orbayu, ~8c, on the Naranjo de Bulnes in the Picos de Europa, Spain.

Brilliant, glad it was a success. I look forward to seeing the film, any footage of this place is something special.

Will Sasha now go for it too I wonder, whole of August to use. . .

Big congrats!

However and to be fair (to the other ascensionist), some facts must be said;

*Eneko Pou (Iker's brother) didn't redpointed the hard pitches.
*Nina Caprez, although she has all the pitches redpointed, she did them separately, blaming the weather conditions together with the powerful nature of the climb, as the main factors for not doing the whole route in one push. (she said it's close to her limits, and that she would need, weather,strength and the right mind-frame, playing in her favour all at once).

So the list get shortened depending on what one consider to be a repeat.
