News Brief: Katie Brown Flashes 5.14a updated January 28, 2000, New Picture!
"What I witnessed that day was truly astonishing," said photographer and climber Jorge Visser. "She had to improvise on some of my beta since I am nine inches taller and she completely blew past the key rest two-thirds up the route that makes the remainder of the climb, which is the pump crux, reasonable."
Some climbers, including one of Spain's top climbers, Daniel Andrada, say the route is 5.13d, so there is not a clear consensus on the grade of the route. Should the grade hold, not only is it Brown's first 5.14a flash, it is her first 5.14a ever.
