The female 8a climbing heroes

Based on some 4 000+ votes, we present the results of the opinion poll Who are your female climbing heroes?: 23% Lynn Hill 10% Alex Puccio, Ashima Shiraishi 07% Anna Stรถhr, Nina Caprez, Josune Bereziartu 05% Jain Kim, Shauna Coxsey, Sasha Digulian 04% Mina Markovic, Angela Eiter, Juliane Wurm, Janja Garnbret 02% Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou, Allizee Dufraisse, Muriel Sarkany Comparing to a similar poll from 2012, Alex Puccio, Ashima Shiraishi, Juliane Wurm and Janja Garnbret are getting higher numbers. Kind of surprising is that many of the highest numbers are given to the boulderers, which is the opposite to the male, where route climbers were most popular. The 23% for Lynn Hill can be compared to the #1 male, Chris Sharma, who got 13%. The names most frequently mentioned among "Others", were Catherine Destivelle and Barbara Zangerl.
