A flick from the time capsule, 1987:
Catherine Destivelle Climbing Solo in Mali
Maybe you've seen this, but if not, the film of local people of the Dogons of Sanga are worth the time alone.

What a cutie . . . and what a climber. But it looks like the "climb" was put together in bits and pieces. Maybe not. I wasn't there. Her hanging traverse is inspirational.

Some pretty sick moves on that "lip traverse thingy" . . . how far off the deck was that? Wow!

I imagine the lip traverse was a boulder problem, spliced for effect.
Still, very cool, fluid moves.

Cool video, and shorts. Though I doubt she was cranking on those overhanging mud holds very far off the ground.
I'm sort of shocked to see how dated the video seems given that I started climbing around then. Oh no!!!!!1111

I sort of met her three or four years back at an Outdoor Retailer Show. I was chatting with Jeff Lowe & Catherine Destivelle walked up and scowled at me from behind Jeff. What a babe.
