First female ascent.

With this ascent Josune became the first woman to climb 9a.

Easier than Action Directe.

Third go.

Bain was a dream route for me as a historical tick - it's up there with the likes of Action Directe, Hubble, Om, Mutation, Northern Lights etc. These are the kind of sport routes which inspire me the most. I'm not one for getting excited when I top routes out but have to say this one definitely gave me a 'c'mon yes!' moment. Next... It is time for home and work! [2]
