Charlotte Durif amazing summer tick list

Charlotte Durif reports that during July and August she has done 16 routes 8b and harder. Among the 16 was Patience dans l'azur in Atac onsight where she also did the extension, 8c. She has also onsighted another ten routes 8a and harder. The reason why her amazing tick list for the summer has not been reported in the french news is that their biggest climbing website has previously accused Durif of lying, and consequently stopped reporting her ascents. It should be noted that their decision not to report Durif's sends is based solely on rumours and speculations. She has done one 9a and her impressive onsight tick list make her a contender for being the best OS climber in the world. In the Lead WC in 2012, Durif is #6 after having been #3 in Briancon. In 2006, Charlotte won the European Championship at 16 years old, and in 2010 she won the World Cup in Chamonix. In 2008 she did her only Boulder World Cup where she was #2.
