    Angie Payne climbs hard stuff left & right.
    I down climbed Ragged Edge in the Spring but couldnt repeat it recently. I forgot the campus beta and didnt grab a key hold i used for my last descent.

    @Mathieu: At least Barbara Zangerl has climbed Pura Vida (8A+/8B) back in 2008 (http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/item.php?id=57235).

    But yes, this could very well be the hardest ascent by a woman. Very well done, Angie!

    I think this is the part where everyone tries to down rate it right? Glad she picked a climb that no one can $#$%# with.

    Awesome achievement but let’s not be too “continental.” Josune Bereziartu has 2 8B’s on her scorecard, one of which she climbed 4 years ago.

    So yes, definitely an amazing, noteworthy, awesome achievement. But let’s not pretend history solely happens in North America.

    um…

    CONFIRMED 8B’S.

    Angie is the first to climb a CONFIRMED 8b.

    I guess that’s one of the beautiful problems with a sport that judges performance on a sliding scale …

    To put things into perspective, Josune Bereziartu climbed traverse boulder problems, not power problems. E la Nave va is rated 8c traverse and traverses the bottom of a cliff for quite a long distance. Traversia de Balzola is also a traverse rated 8b+ and is like (with a 5 move v12 in the middle!) 40 moves or so. Both very impressive. I have tried the later.
    To my knowledge Angie has done the FIrst Female ascent of a 8b power problem! Well done indeed
