I may be wrong but this is a significant departure from Paige's previous style considering in the past she's been known for more vertical routes such as Just Do It. Impressive stuff!

Maybe also worth mentioning that Adam Ondra's partner, Iva Vejmolova, did the first female ascent of Nordic Plumber (8c) about a week back too.

I'm surprised at the litter thing, but good for her for doing some cleaning!

I suspect for professional purposes she'll be maintaining the old name as it's a branding thing.

Presumably the usual reason for a woman changing her surname?
