Shauna Coxsey is a British boulderer and one of the strongest female climbers in the UK. She has won two bouldering world cups, firstly in 2016 and then in 2017.
While she was primarily a competition climber in her early career (up to the 2020 Tokyo olympics) she did occasionally climb outside, with highlights such as the first female ascent of New Base Line 8B+ in 2014, making her one of a handful of women to have climbed 8B+ at the time.
Since retiring from competitions and having a child she has switched focus to bouldering outdoors.
34 recorded ascents.

Shauna was 18 at the time. As of 2020, the youngest British woman to climb 8A+? Probably also the first british woman to climb 8A+? Claire Murphy climbed some which were later downgraded. References[1] https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2011/06/shauna_coxsey_climbs_pilgrim_-_v12-62564 |
