According to Clint Cummins:
Never Never Land - Ellie Hawkins 1980s? Grade VI solo
Ribbon Falls Dyslexia - Ellie Hawkins 1985 Grade VI solo first ascent
But, I believe she was also the first woman to solo the Nose also. Any body out there remember that?

I am assuming that the tape on the grigri was to keep it from locking up
BTW Bev was hot.

I sure don't recall Ellie doing those two solos!
I wonder where Clint got his information.

A woman who's name I forget, soloed The Prow in the late 70's - early 80's. I had the privilege of climbing the Grand Wall with her a long time ago.
What is her name ! she was a very good climber.
Probably Carmel Schimmel?

No offense to Stefka but Destivelle and Vidal are the two most illustrious female soloists . . . to this day.
Amanda Tarr deserves mention for her solo of the Hallucinogen Wall on the North Chasm View. Tough chick.
