Brooke and Shawn Raboutou send Box Therapy 8C (+)

Brooke Raboutou reports on Instagram that she and her brother have sent Box Therapy (8C+) in Wild Basin. "Shawn and I managed to do the ultimate dream: sibling send of box therapy, same day, back-to-back tries. To have our parents behind us shuffling pads and videoing was the cherry on top."

She first tried it last year and this year it only took the Olympian a few sessions to send it and her personal grade opinion is 8C. Daniel Woods put it up as an 8C+ and all the three previous repeaters have not commented on the grade. (c) Finn Stack

In the last 12 IFSC competitions Brooke has entered, her worst results was #5. Shawn has previously done two 9A's and overall he has one of the most impressive ticklists in the world.

Their parents are Didier Raboutou, one of the best rock and competition climbers some 30 years ago, and Robyn Erbesfield. She won the first World Cup she entered and in 1995, she won her last and also the world championship. In the 30+ World Cups she entered her worst result was #5 and she won the WC four straight years from 1992. Equally impressive is that she did her first 8c at age 49.
