8B FFA by Nina Williams
Nina Williams has done the first female ascent of Ray of Light in the Rocklands after eight sessions. Based on its 16 ascents in the 8a database, this seems to be a rather hard and super beautiful 8B. ยฉ Beau Kahler
"Still in disbelief, but so so happy to have topped out Ray of Light, a beautiful line and my first 8B/V13 today!!! After 8 sessions it finally came together perfectly. Working these hard moves allowed for a breakthrough in the mental glass ceiling and I feel that I have grown as a climber because of it. What's next?? Who knows! I want to try it all; there's no reason not to. But for now it's time to celebrate!!"
