Can you do Looking Glass or Rumbling Bald? I can do both, but Rumbling Bald is more of a winter destination.
Weasly, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful granite friendship...

She sounds pretty core. How many women have done all 7 at this point? Not many I think.

It makes me strong though, so I can deal with it.

I guess this was a goal of hers. she just came down off everest a couple of months ago and has been spending a lot of time doing the radio / TV circuit in China. Just got back to the US a few weeks ago I guess.
I'm actually more curious about what she's got next for a goal.

I'm with ya on this one brutha...10b is actually my onsite highest grade on lead. I just did it during this last trip, but alas, it was at Rumney and that means it not only was bolts, but also soft.

Woo!!
But yeah, bolts = 1/2 credit.
The whole .10b thing comes from my last trip to the NRG when I totally got spanked by Burning Calves. I hung, took a baby fall and then hung again. It's kind of a running joke now because I was talkin shit about how I was gonna crush before I got on it.
I did feel a little better after Chossmonkey and GG came by and said something about J_ung calling it a sandbag though. Either way, it was certainly one of the best finger cracks Ive been on.

So she has sponsored trips and all at this point? Thats awesome.
Try and talk her in to doing the first female winter ascent of the Grand Traverse. I think it's only been done by two teams so far.

Yes, yes it does.

I've been there a fair amount being from New England, but it generally bores me. We're going because it is two hours for each of us. any other location would be more than that on either side for one of us.

not sure what her deal is or how she financed all of this. obviously it took a few years to complete, with everest being the final obstacle.
