The American Brooke Raboutou is one of the strongest climbers in the world. She proved this not only with her performance on plastic, she qualified for the 2020 Olympics, but also recently on the rock. She managed to climb the inguinal boulder Jade in Rocky Mountain National Park.

An important "side note" should be mentioned at this point: Cracked on the same day Brooke by the way with Two tone skeleton (8b) another difficult line.

It was just an incredible day that I will always remember!
