8c by Audrey Sniezek (42)

Audrey Sniezek has done her second 8c, Lost Horizons at Little Si. The 42 year old started to climb when she was 20 and being 33, her personal best was 7b. To make the story even more amazing, Audrey can not do a full pull up and it is just the last month she has been pushing hard due to a bad elbow injury. For the last year, she has mainly been climbing easier routes combined with hard other training. More details in her blog " Yes, I think 8c+ is possible if I have enough time here. I am leaving for Kilamanjaro on the 19th of August and spending all fall in Europe climbing. But, I don't want to be hung up on grades to be happy with myself as a climber or hold myself back from other climbing possibilities. (c) Luke Allen Humphrey
