I’ll admit that I had never heard of French climber Julia Chanourdie until I saw her post on Instagram about climbing Adam Ondra’s Eagle 4 at Saint-Léger.

This was a big deal, of course. Only two other women have climbed 9b (5.15b): Angie Eiter with Planta de Shiva located at Villa Nueva del Rosario in southwestern Spain, and Laura Rogora with Ali Hulk Sit at Rodellar, Spain.

This new Epic TV joint stitches together some terrible ground footage with a nice interview with Julia Chanourdie, who seems chill AF. Great job to Julia, and great to see the levels rising!
