Octographe 8b by Cathy Wagner (53)
Cathy Wagner, famous for having done 705 routes 8a and harder since 1994, has done Octographe 8b in Russan. Only during the last 12 months, the 53 year old has done 63 routes 8a and harder and she would have been #2 in the Age and Gender bonus ranking, it she would have participated.
"A terrific climbing day! Sending a perfect route - very steep on (still) super dry tufas with a demanding final section. I think it's better when you're both tall and good at 'knee-baring'! Many thanks for cheering me on and congratulating me, that was really kind of you! Needed 3 days."
