First 8A by Patti Wohner (40)

Patti Wohner has after 18 years of climbing made her first 8A, Gross's Roof in Cumberland. The 40 year old, started to do her first proper training just 8 months ago when she moves to Chattanooga. Before she had mainly been a weekend warrior living three hours from any good crags. "I credit my progress to training my weaknesses which for some reason had never occurred to me to do, I always focused on my strengths until I read Dave MacLeods book 9 out of 10 climbers. I saw women who were doing a lot with power and so I focused on power.
