Marietta Uhden 1968 - 2014

Marietta Uhden has passed away 46 years old. She started climbing at the age of 21, and ten years later she was one of the world's leading climbers. In 2001 she made the FA of Sonne im Herzen 11- in Jachenau which today corresponds to 8c+. This is the first and only 8c+ which has been put up by a woman. In her 8a scorecard she put it up as an 8c. Later she told 8a that we should give more credit for the old school grades in the news. Nicholas Mailänder has written an obituary including pictures from her Peter Nauman, her trainer and friend (and later husband). Marietta was also the mother of Antonia (5). A memorial meeting for Marie will be held coming Friday at the Bad Tölz climbing hall.
