8c by Audrey Sniezek (40)
Audrey Sniezek has stepped up from 8b to having done Extended Evil, 8c at Little Si in 2012. Yesterday she fell at the chains. "There are two distinct place where I could have fallen and did fall, high on the route. I thought the redpoint crux would be the 2nd to last boulder problem, but I managed it both times I found myself high on the route. It turned out the last move to the chains caused me the most trouble. The feet disappeared, I was super pumped and I had to throw to a good hold.
Despite the good hold at the chains, the first time I was there, I found myself too low and unable to sort out how to get my feet up before my arms blew out. I tried to back climb one move to reset and I started falling away from the wall just a bit and that's all it took to have me flying in the air. That was a heartbreak moment when I knew I was only 1 move away from the send."
Full length blog from Audrey who started climbing 20 years ago and who is yet another perfect example of the uniqueness of age and performance in climbing.
