Maddy Cope has redpointed Mind Control 8c at Oliana, Spain. The line is Maddy's second of the grade after climbing Bat Route 8c at Malham Cove in 2017 (UKC news report) and marks a significant milestone in her recovery from a chronic shoulder injury. The 50m endurance-based route was initially graded 8c+, but the general consensus for the climb is now 8c.

Great stuff.

There's a video clip of Maddy climbing up to the crux floating around on the internet somewhere, it would be good to add this to the article somehow as it's some really classy climbing. 

Worth noting that earlier in the trip her partner Ryan Pasquill ticked Speed Intégrale (9a) at Voralpsee, strong(est?) climbing couple. Apologies if this has been posted on UKC somewhere else.
