How it feels to climb the hardest rock climbing route a woman has ever done- at 19 years old. Margo Hayes is a 19 year old climber native to Boulder, Colorado. She grew up with the Rocky Mountains in her backyard, and spends the majority of her time dedicated to her sport. Yesterday Margo Hayes clipped the chains on La Rambla in Siurana, Spain, becoming the first woman to send 5.15a and making history.
History has been written! 26.02.2017: Margo Hayes becomes the first female climber to do 9a+ with “La Rambla” in Siurana (Spain)! Congratulations!
Margo: “I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support I’ve received from the climbing community, and my family and friends near and far. None of us achieves our dreams alone, we do so together, and build on those who have come before us. We are a community that not only supports each other regardless of our backgrounds and differences, but is also one that realizes the importance of respecting and preserving our planet. The climbers at the cliffs in Siurana last weekend came from many nations, and were a snapshot of what the world can be like, one of support, communication, and peace.”
