Hypnotized Minds 8C+ by Dave Graham (37)

Isabelle Faus reports on Insta that Dave Graham has done Daniel Woods' Hypnotized Minds in RMNP after projecting it for eight years. It was originally suggested as 8C but later Woods said that it should be upgraded to better reflect the difficulties in comparison to standard 8C's. Graham has been one of the leading climbers for the last twenty years and it is great to see him taking down his nemesis and still progress being almost 38 years old.

8A by Isabelle Faus (16)

Isabelle Faus has done her first 8A, Chbalanke in Hueco Tanks. Isabelle started climbing at 10 and this year she was #4 in the Triple Crown bouldering series. She lives in Chicago (4 hours to the nearest crag) but has been on roadtrips non-stop during the last 6 months.
Isabelle Faus has done Good Day For Swiss Crisp Mix, 7C+ and two 7C's in Hueco Tanks. She takes the lead in the Female Junior Boulder ranking game.
Isabelle Faus is certainly in her best shape in her Life adding The devil wears prana 8A+ and Tea with elmarie 8A (+) to the September list in Rocklands which now includes eight 8A and harder. Probably only a handfull female have done something similar and Isabelle is #2 in the 8a ranking game.
