The Wheel of Fortune 8B by Isabelle Faus

Isabelle Faus has done her 17th 8B, The Wheel of Fortune in Clear Creek Canyon and she is #1 in the 8a ranking game. In total, she has now done 107 boulders 8A to 8B+. Next project is Memory is Parallax 8B+. "Started trying last year. Two of the moves took me like ten sessions to be able to do... super outta my style... one huge move and another really dynamic pop. Coming of an injury I was kinda using this boulder as a way to learn how to do big moves. Last year after a lot of effort I eventually made my way to the last move... and then we flew to Swiss the next day. This year I got back to my high point quickly and fell there a bunch. Then yesterday I found slightly better beta for this move and did it pretty quick after that. Really satisfying to do moves easily that last year seemed crazy... next is the top section and try and link em."

8A by Isabelle Faus (16)

Isabelle Faus has done her first 8A, Chbalanke in Hueco Tanks. Isabelle started climbing at 10 and this year she was #4 in the Triple Crown bouldering series. She lives in Chicago (4 hours to the nearest crag) but has been on roadtrips non-stop during the last 6 months.
Isabelle Faus has done Good Day For Swiss Crisp Mix, 7C+ and two 7C's in Hueco Tanks. She takes the lead in the Female Junior Boulder ranking game.
Isabelle Faus is certainly in her best shape in her Life adding The devil wears prana 8A+ and Tea with elmarie 8A (+) to the September list in Rocklands which now includes eight 8A and harder. Probably only a handfull female have done something similar and Isabelle is #2 in the 8a ranking game.
