Lucy Creamer on Boot Boys 8a+. Photo copyright Tim Glasby

Despite the finger injury Lucy sustained in her build up to the Chamonix round of the World Cup, there are no signs that her climbing has suffered. On the contrary, the forced rest has appeared to have given her mind and body a spring clean.

Two months on from the injury, Lucy has redpointed the infrequently climbed Boot Boys F8a+. Some belive this pockety Raven Tor climb is actually 8b...as if 8a+ was not enough of an achievement.
