Six 8a to 8b in a week by Angie Scarth-Johnson (10)

Angie Scarth-Johnson has been on a nice six-week holiday trip to Spain. In the last week, she climbed six routes between 8a and 8b. "Today was my last day of climbing in Spain I managed to do another 8a (29) 'La sombra del viento'. I am so happy with what I have done this trip, I feel that I have done my best. I have reached all the goals that I have set for myself." Her parents do not climb but this is their third climbing trip overseas that they have done mostly for Angie. "Australia is very far and it's is expensive to travel to Europe for us, so when we travel we do it for a longer time which can't always be during school holidays but fortunately this trip we took advantage of the Easter school holidays. However, we believe that the experience of learning while traveling is very valuable for Angie and hopefully opening her perspective on the world. We are hoping to return to Spain and also go to Germany and France around this time next year.
