Josune Bereziartu: The best female climber in the history?

During the last years, we have through Sasha Digiulian, Charlotte Durif and Ashima Shiraishi seen some great progress by the female. Nevertheless, it is still Josune Bereziartu that has the most impressive redpoint Tick List with three 9a's. She was also the first female to have done 8c, 8c+ and in 2002, Bain de Sang, 9a in Saint Loup. Beside that she was on top of the boulder game and she also did several world class multi pitches. On the comp scene she won the first Boulder World Cup she entered but she finished in 2000. Overall Josune ight be the best female in the history or what do you think? 8a interview from 2005.
