Katie Lamb portrait and her fifth 8B+

Katie Lamb has been the leader of the 8a boulder ranking for almost two years. Even so, the 24-year-old has been pretty much under the radar with only 41 posts on Insta. In the portrait video, she does Book Club (8B+), which was her fifth 8B+, all of them done in the last 18 months.
