8B again by Alizée Dufraisse

alizee dufraisse has done The Wheel of retardation in Rocklands which is considered a hard 8B and moves to #6 in the ranking game. "Hard, crazy kneebaring boulder. It is beautiful and different, I was super sycked on it! It took me around 5 sessions to figure out the moves, very different style, and then two sessions to send. I still have two weeks here and then Switzerland and America." The 31 year old was earlier a route specialist, having done two 9a's and been on a Lead World Cup podium. Overall, the French should be considered one of the best female sport climbers. 8a interview from 2009 with the former French champion in pole vault (4.35).
