Leah Crane, 19 from Sheffield, England has recently made an ascent of the Raven Tor classic boulder problem Ben's Roof (Font 7c+ or V10). It took Leah a sustained effort over a two week period, including a few nightime sessions after work with a headlamp.
Leah's ascent of Ben's Roof marks the youngest British female ascent of 7c+ and the 3rd female ascent of the problem (Lucy Creamer was first and Siobhan Coughlan made the 2nd female ascent). Leah said of her recent ascent, 'I'm really pleased to have climbed this grade in the UK. I've recently climbed two Font 7c's in Switzerland, and climbing 7c+ has really made me feel I can achieve even harder. I'm also really pleased I don't have to get back on it, as the knee bar is so painful!"
