Lisa Rands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisa Rands is an American rock climber famous for her bouldering achievements. The first American to rank 1st in an international bouldering World Cup, she has also climbed far in outdoor bouldering – having finished Midnight Lightning and Plain High Drifter (both considered as hard boulder problems).

Lisa has also had great successes in hard traditional climbing, being the first woman to achieve the grade of E8, with ascents of The End of the Affair at Curbar Edge, and Gaia at Black Rocks, both in England's Peak District: routes notorious as being both extremely hard and extremely dangerous, with a fall carrying the most disastrous consequences for the climber.
