Second 8A+ (First 8B?) For Mina Leslie-Wujastyk

Britain's Mina Leslie-Wujastyk has done her second 8A+, or perhaps her first 8B, with her send of Tetris in Wild Basin, Rocky Mountain National Park. Leslie-Wujastyk's previous hardest send was Mind Matters (8A+) at Guanella Pass in June. Tetris is a fairly new problem and it was put up earlier this year at 8B by Dave Graham. Subsequently with new beta Jimmy Webb suggested 8A+, and other ascentionists have been mixed on the grade. This is the first female ascent of Tetris and a very impressive ascent as Leslie-Wujastyk seems to be jumping through the grades. Leslie-Wujastyk and her boyfriend David Mason have just begun the second leg of their American journey so it will be exciting to see what they climb next. Photo: Mina on Tetris (c) Jackie Hueftle
