Angie Scarth-Johnson (10) does 8c

Angelina Scarth-Johnsonhas set a new standard for 10-year-olds by doing Welcome to Tijuana 8c in Rodellar. "So happy to get this climb, the last move kept shutting me down, first 8c." To make the story even more amazing, Angie's parents are not climbers and she trains just some four hours a week. Video portrait from last year when she did a 8b. "The climb took her a 1 1/2 weeks including rest days to work it out, she got the first crux fairly easy. The thing that shut her down was the final move to the anchors which was quite reachy for her but she managed to find a way though it. She didn't really prepare that much for the trip, just her usual training which is about 1 hour 4 days a week. We built her a bouldering wall at home and she just plays a lot on it everyday when she is bored" says Claudia, Angie's mother. By comparison, Adam Ondra's personal best redpoint was 8a+ at 10, Brooke Raboutou's was 8b and Cameron Hörst's was 8a.
