Brooke Raboutou does Excalibur (9b+)

Brooke Raboutou has become the first woman to complete a 9b+ ascent by repeating Stefano Ghisolfi’s Excalibur in Arco. The 23-year-old started projecting it during a trip in the end of last year and returned to Arco for her big project last month. Adam Ondra was the first to climb a 9b+ route in 2012, and before Brooke, only eight other climbers had achieved the same grade.(c) Crimp-Films

Brooke, who got the silver in the Paris Olympics, is also famous for her outstanding Boulder tick list including a handful 8B+’, one 8C as well as one 8A+ flash.
