Angela Eiter boulders 8B at Rocklands in South Africa

Nothing could be further from the truth though, as proven by her recent visit to Rocklands in South Africa where she managed to send a host of difficult problems, including a flash ascent of In the middle of the ass FB8A and the repeat of Fragile steps FB8B. She describes her hardest problem to date as follows "A steep roof with crimpy holds. My style. On my first check out I couldn't find any solution, but after a while I did all the moves and after about 3 hours I luckily sent it."

This list of Eiter's ascents is published below, what is clear is that she too is close to adding her name to the list of female climbers who have managed to send 8B+ - the absolute female max – currently comprised of  Tomoko Ogawa, Ashima Shiraishi, Shauna Coxsey and Alex Puccio.
