Gosia Lipinska has been climbing for 9 years and has climbed extensively all over South Africa and the world.
This year she is focusing on upping her trad grades and doing some harder sport routes. In particular routes in Montagu – that work my weakness – that is extremely boulder powerful moves.
Below is a list of her more impressive sends to date:
Trad:
No Longer at Ease (25) TM – second go
Four Strong Winds (25) Tafelberg
Africa Arete (25) TM – onsight
Sport:
Madiba (25)
Neanderthal Rex (27)
The Optimist (27) – second go
Monkey Pump (29)
Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal (29) – which she sent last Friday
Gosia worked the route took for only 3 days (having to use the ‘alternative finger-slot’ – luckily her fingers slotted right in).
Her next project will most likely be Firestarter (29)at Waterworld since I was in the middle of working it when the floods rearranged Badkloof.
Gosia is sponsored by Black Diamond, Saltic, Beal and First Ascent
Gosia has been featured in the first of a series of films entitled ‘Be the first – Climb‘
