Katie Lamb makes history
Katie Lamb has become the first woman to climb 8C+ by completing Box Therapy (8C) in RMNP Misc/Unsorted. Daniel Woods made the FA back in 2018, and only Drew Ruana and Sean Bailey had repeated it prior to Katie. Box Therapy is a sit start to an older 8A, put up by Tommy Caldwell, and it comprises of 18 moves on a 50 degree overhanging granite face located at 3,200m. The 25-year-old has previously done six boulders graded 8B+. (c) Keenan Takahashi
On Instagram Katie comments, "A lot of my progress can be attributed to just showing up. I know where I can be and keep coming back until I get there. Itโs an asset, but can make climbing less fun. Recently Iโve been feeling less excitement, but more joy."
