Interesting news article, gets me wondering: When was the first UK female F8a ascent made? How many UK women have climbed F8a and how many women worldwide?

In reply to stevebarratt:

the first - RF on RD?

In reply to Morgan Woods: I'm pretty certain it was reported as such at the time.

If anyone didn't get the initials: Rachel Farmer on Raindogs. Rachel was sadly killed in an accident a few years later which is why newer climbers won't have heard of her.

Well done Emma - lovely lass
