Hazel is an inspiration for all climbers globally. I vividly remember her bouncing around Warrington climbing wall as a kid full of boundless energy and always with a huge smile on her face.

Well done on your first 9a and also for your phenomenal and unparalleled achievements in trad climbing.

Awesome.  Hazel's a bonafide superstar. 

What an achievement to add to her already very long list!

Totally and utterly inspirational.

As per the comment above, it's a very long list of achievements in a wide variety of different disciplines.

Go Hazel!

Angus Kille sent this route a few days ago too! He’d been projecting with Hazel but she just got in there first.
