Two 8B's by Isabelle Faus, who is the new #1

Isabelle Faus has done two 8B's, The Automator in RMNP and Evil Backwards in Mt Evans. During the last year, she has done one 8B+, five 8B's and nine 8A+'s and she is the new #1 in the 8a ranking game. - I think my progress is a result of just doing my own thing and enjoying climbing, quitting competition climbing has helped me the most I was always to focused in the gym, trying hard but not really accomplishing anything, and even if I did well in a competition it wasn't satisfying because in the end it is just plastic. Climbing on rock means new experiences every day and that keeps it fun and motivating for me.

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.
