Video: Isabelle Faus at the first female ascent of the 8b classic Delusion of Grandeur

In a solid manner, the young American climbed the 8b boulder Delusion of Grandeur in Chironico, Switzerland, less than a year ago.

“Where, great joy! What a classic. Not at all my style with the slopers and the key point ”, comments Buckskin enthusiastic about her ascent. The train at the key point was at the limit of its range. Immediately after climbing through Delusion of Grandeur, she scored Electric Ant and said: "This is probably one of my best days of climbing!"

In spite of incredible performance barely known

She was the fifth woman in the world to score a 8b + Boulder, climbs exclusively on the rocks and has numerous first ascents on her account. Despite its results, it is unknown to many. Hashtags by sponsors are missing in their Instagram entries.

“All the talk on the Internet gets on my nerves and I don't want to make a name for myself with words, but with performance. I know that I am one of the strongest women and anyone who is really interested in climbing knows that too. Sponsors, on the other hand, prefer to pump their money into 0815 Barbies and Cross Fitters. I am a climber and do not fit into the scheme of the marketing departments. "

She has all the reason for a strong self - confidence, as the video of her Dave Graham Boulders clarified.
