8A+ FA by Isabelle Faus

Isabelle Faus has done the FA of Butterfly 8A+ which makes her the new female leader of the ranking game. "Really psyched, this one is amazing, on the newer boulder we've been going to up above Survival of the fittest... Do any other girls put boulders up?" Alex Puccio had been the 8a ranking game leader for more than five years but was out of game this summer due to a knee surgery. Alex is the first female who did an 8A+ FA and Isabelle is probably the second in the world.

8A by Isabelle Faus (16)

Isabelle Faus has done her first 8A, Chbalanke in Hueco Tanks. Isabelle started climbing at 10 and this year she was #4 in the Triple Crown bouldering series. She lives in Chicago (4 hours to the nearest crag) but has been on roadtrips non-stop during the last 6 months.
Isabelle Faus has done Good Day For Swiss Crisp Mix, 7C+ and two 7C's in Hueco Tanks. She takes the lead in the Female Junior Boulder ranking game.
Isabelle Faus is certainly in her best shape in her Life adding The devil wears prana 8A+ and Tea with elmarie 8A (+) to the September list in Rocklands which now includes eight 8A and harder. Probably only a handfull female have done something similar and Isabelle is #2 in the 8a ranking game.
