2017 was a huge year in climbing history! Margo Hayes’ ascent of La Rambla 9a+ in February, made her the first female to ever climb that grade and then she did it again in September when she clipped the chains on Biographie 9a+! Less than a month later Angy Eiter claimed the title and became the first female to climb a 9b when she sent La Planta de Shive in October.
\n<\/p>\n

And let’s not forget about Alex Honnold’s daring free solo of Freerider 5.12d (1005 m) in June. This became the first ever free solo of a full route on El Capitan.<\/p>\n

Adam Ondra all but silently went down in history by sending Silence 9c in September and becoming the first climber ever to send this grade. Wow! Just wow!<\/p>\n

And to top it all off on a rather funny note, Leah Pappajohn and Jonathan Fleury claimed the first ever naked ascent of an El Capitan route when they sent The Nose in nothing but their harnesses!<\/p>\n

There were also so many other achievements this year!<\/p>\n

Happy New Year from the entire team here at KletterRetter. We are looking forward to seeing what you guys have in store for 2018 – try to keep your clothes on… or don’t – whatever you like!<\/p>\n

2017 – A year for the record books!<\/h1>\n
