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.

A Bigger Belly 8B Boulder | worked Sep 2013
First female ascent.

Today I pulled on the smallest holds I have ever held and tried harder than I have ever tried. I climbed 'Bigger Belly' at Rubicon. I had to figure out a new sequence because the original method wasn't possible for me. Pictures as video coming soon!

Pilgrim 8A+ Boulder | worked Jun 2011

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.
