Caprez and Zangerl do 420 m of an 8b+

Planet Mountain reports that Nina Caprez and Barbara Zangerl have done Die Unendliche Geschichte, a 420 m long 8b+ put up by Beat Kammerlander in 1990 and only repeated once by Pietro dal Pra. (c) Robert Bösch Barbara started out getting head lines for boulder ascents up to 8B meanwhile Nina made routes up to 8c. During the last year they have been challenging the hardest multi pitches in the world, almost equal to the top male and Nina comments. "In my eyes there is no difference between girls and boys, especially on vertical and technical faces like the ones in Rätikon. There is only one difference that matters and it's between the first ascent and all that follow. Redpointers are always in the privileged position, they already know that the route is possible to climb."
