8A+ by Thomasina Pidgeon (37)

Thomasina Pidgeon has done both The left (and the Right) hand of darkness 8A+ respectively 8A. "The cruxes for me was the move to the jug near the start as I couldn't keep me feet on the starting hold and for the left exit, the last move, getting the sloper at the lip and getting it good enough to move off it, was the second crux. " In total the 37 year old has done 31 boulder 8A and harder out of which 29 the last five years. During the last year, she has been on a Euro roadtrip together with her daughter Cedar (6).
