Margo Hayes has been pushing her personal limits and redefining convention since she was competing in Female Youth D divisions. A creative, intelligent, and driven young woman has emerged after years of training on and off the rock, recently making history as the first female climber to redpoint 9a+/5.15a. Her kind smile and gracious personality brings a bit of psych to anyone who comes in contact with her.
