Gibbs and Boyadzhieva send Lethal Design (8A+)

Alexandra Boyadzhieva and Isabelle Gibbs have ticked Lethal Design (8A+) in Red Rock (NV). The long endurance boulder has been recorded in the database 155 times, with over 25 of those by female climbers and Isabelle comments. ”Every girls first v12! (I am girls).”

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Lethal suited me really well. Agro crimping for 20+ moves. I tried the boulder a handful of times over the past 10 months. I’m based in Los Angeles currently so it’s about a 5 hour drive to Las Vegas. I almost didn’t go on the weekend I sent as January and February are busy for me at work so I hadn’t been able to climb as much as I’d like. My fiancé encouraged me to try anyways. I sent Sunday morning on the first try from the bottom that day. Nobody else at the boulder or the surrounding boulders which is unheard of for the Kraft area. A great intro into the grade.

Can you possibly share a picture of both you and Alexandra?
I actually don’t know Alexandra at all. She was walking up to the boulder right when I was packing up to leave so unfortunately no pictures of us together. Just a crazy coincidence we both sent on the same day.

Later Alexandra has also sent Baggins Left Exit (8A+) in Little Cottonwood. ”Crazy week 4 me?”
