Isabelle Faus has repeated Daniel Woods' The Wheel of chaos, ~8B+, at Chaos Canyon, in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. This was the second female ascent after Alex Puccio who repeated it in September 2014.
The Wheel of chaos has around 25 moves and is a real power endurance test piece.
Here is a video showing Puccio's ascent:
For Faus, it was the second of the grade after Fred Nicole's Amandla, in Rocklands, which she did last summer. She also has a number of 8B's and heaps of 8A+'s and 8A's on her resume.
