Roaches, England. "Lisa swings through The Sloth (HVS), which at about 5.8,
provides lots of punch for the grade. In spite of the path of huge holds out the

2001/2002. Grrrl power -- Photo (we've seen it before) and
brief report on list of 10 best achievements for 2001. "Elite women's rock
climbing seems to be in the doldrums now that worldwide competition climbing --
and its emphasis on endurance and technique -- has lost some of its prominence.
But at least two women still have the power. In America, Lisa Rands climbed the
V11 boulder problem Plain High Drifter, making her the first US woman to tick
this grade." Click image to enlarge. |

Summer 2001. Stop Press -- Stop press! Lisa Rands, of
Bishop, California, has become the first American woman to boulder V11. After a
year of systematically ticking off many of the Eastside's proudest lines, such
as Acid Wash, Slow Dance and Beautiful Gecko, all V10, Rands began working Chris
Sharma's superb testpiece, Plain High Drifter (V11). After a six day siege of
the stellar problem, which demands extreme body tension to pull a series of bad
crimps through a bulge before finishing on the neighboring High Plains Drifter,
Rands finally managed to send in late March. Click image to enlarge. |
