It's interesting to watch Lisa climbing this. It doesn't look like shes on a sport route, she looks like she's trad climbing.
Very in control but perhaps not very fluid? Looks like she's climbing well within herself, clearly stacks of potential to go harder!

Was that a thread next to the second bolt? See they can coexist!

Inspiring vid by the way :p

Well done Lisa, great comeback!

What's a thread?

A place for the exhibition of flame, self-aggrandisement, condescension and assorted other human foibles. There are many of them hereabouts....

nice one lisa!

In reply to UKC News:

Amazing effort after a really nasty sounding injury. Inspiring! Well done Lisa.

It would be good to know how long she worked the route

Hi

It took 9 sessions in the end. It was about 1 session a week for about 8 weeks (at weekends, I was working down south)

In hindsight I wish I'd camped out because driving 2 and a half hours each way was a pain the days it rained halfway through!

Yeah that's an oversight in the blog post. I didn't think people would care!

In reply to LisaA:

I always like knowing the effort put into these climbs. Makes climbers like you seem human to us mere mortals
