Katharina Saurwein has repeated Dave Graham's Nuthin' but sunshine, ~8B, in the RMNP, CO. This was the 3rd female ascent after Shauna Coxsey and Alex Puccio.

Katha and Jorg Verhoeven have spent a couple(?) of weeks in the area, making several impressive ascents such as:

Jorg:
Aslan, ~V14/8B+
Wheel of Chaos, ~V14/8B+
Top Notch, ~V13/8B
Freaks of the Industry, ~V13/8B
Pterodactyl, ~V12/8A+, FLASH
Blood money ~V12/8A+, FLASH

Katharina
Nuthin' but sunshine, ~V13/8B
Riddles in the park, ~V12/8A+
Eternia, ~V11/8A

Now, the trip has almost come to an end and, as winter seems to have arrived in the mountains, the timing could have been worse.

Here is the first video from their trip. I've got a hunch there will be a second one, featuring Katha's ascent of Nuthin' but sunshine.
