Last autumn France's Laura Pineau nailed the second female ascent of Greenspit in Valle dell'Orco, Italy. First climbed by Didier Berthod over 20 years ago, this coveted crack climb had previously been completed by only one other woman: Barbara Zangerl, who sent it in 2020.
Pineau, aka Mademoiselle fissure, only began trad climbing in 2022 and her repeat on 5 October 2024 came about after three weeks of effort.
