Ashima Shiraishi has repeated Fred Nicole's Golden Shadow, ~8B+, in Rocklands, South Africa.

This means 13-year old Ashima is the second female, after Tomoko Ogawa, to climb this grade, and of course the youngest.

She has previously repeated several 8B's and 8c+'s as well as flashed 8A.

Does it matter how much she weighs? What is her reach? Try and give credit where credit is due rather being cynical and negative.

Incredible, really amazing effort. Still, I can probably catch up with her when the boys, booze and drugs teenage rebellion kicks in :D (Though she is not a "woman", she is a girl so maybe "second female" would be a better way to put it).
