Ascents

3 successful ascents recorded.

Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Jean-Baptiste Tribout First ascent. Lead | worked 10th Dec 1989

Jean-Baptiste Tribout infamously said "no woman would ever climb a 8b+", in response Lynn flew to France and repeated Tribout's route, and in fewer tries than it took him! [1]

When people say 'it can’t be done', it makes the task all the more interesting.

With this ascent Lynn became the first woman to climb 8b+.
