Newsflash 9b First Ascent for Angela Eiter
Angela Eiter has made the first ascent of a new 9b route which she has named Madame Ching. If the grade is confirmed, this would be the hardest first ascent climbed by a woman.
Austrian climber Angela Eiter has climbed her second 9a and another 8c+, bringing her ticklist total for 2014 to five 8c+'s and two 9a's. This is considered to be the most impressive annual ticklist for a female sport climber in history.
Angela recently climbed Big Hammer 9a, a route first climbed by Christian Bindhammer in Pinswang, North Tyrol, following an ascent of her very first 9a Hades in October (UKC News Report).
A few days later on 1st December she made the second ascent of Nostalgischer Bastard 8c+ in Prutz, Austria.
The four-times World Champion in lead climbing changed her focus to outdoor sport climbing in 2013, leaving the competition circuit to concentrate on hard sport ascents.
We recently featured a video of Angela climbing Zauberfee 8c+ in Arco, Italy, watch it here.
