Direct North 8B+ and The Mandala 8A+ by Katie Lamb

Katie Lamb has done in Buttermilks. "Right hand to the boiter, all incuts at the top feeling like a hero." In the 8a ranking game, she is #1.

Three weeks ago, the 23-year-old did her third 8B+, also in Buttermilks. "It climbs right out the bubble bulge on Grandma... long and crimpy. I caught a day warm enough to not numb out on the top. Winter has come." (c) Keenan Takahashi
