8c/+ FA by Sasha Digiulian

Sasha Digulian has opened Rolihlahla 8c+ in Waterfall Boven which is the hardest sport climbing route ever put up by a female. The 20 year old increases the lead in the ranking game, as she has been holding for some years now. (c) Keith Ladzinski, who also together with Andy Mann have full film footage and amazing photos from the whole process! "I am incredibly excited with this new accomplishment. The route is one of the most spectacular lines I have ever climbed. It is also my first time doing a first ascent of a route and it was a fun experience to realize that something was possible. The climb also includes crack climbing, big falls, and some very technical portions that required my full commitment. In comparison to other routes that I have done I am comfortable with considering the route 8c+.
