Flip Flopera (8B) by Shauna Coxsey
UKC has the full-length interview with Shauna who in between 2014 and 2017 won 11 World Cups. In the same period, she also did three 8B's and one 8B+.
"It feels so good! I guess I never really knew what to expect from my climbing during my postpartum journey. I knew I really wanted to be pushing into the hard grades again, but I had no idea what my recovery from pregnancy and birth would be like, plus having double knee surgery when Frankie was 6 months old."
