i really don't think it should even be mentioned that someone got the first female ascent. it should be respected enough that anyone does a route not that some chick broke into the dudes club of routes. i think it is holding women back in sports. i am as stoked if jack or jill does a route. great work though. can't wait for the nose to get its fma.

I don't agree. Women just have different bodies than men and generally less upper body strength, so I think we have to learn to climb just a little differently. I've watched my boyfriend power through certain moves that I have more trouble with because I don't have the same upper body strength. I'm tend to be a lot more inspired to improve my climbing (especially since I'm just now starting to lead) when see posts about Yasmeen and others climbing some great routes.

Busty, you need to come out with the Three Amoebas during the cold climbing season. Just get some handwarmers, layer yourself down and come with us.

Hell yeah-- it's all about the portable ass-furnace. (Also known as a chalkbag that's really hot because of the handwarmer in it.)

You mean I can't drag a portable kerosene heater up to the crag?!!!?

Amoebas? As in parasitic protozoans?

Well it started off as the Three Amigas, but we thought that we'd be really clever and use the Three Amoebas, since it rhymes.
It's cool, right?

If you imagine amoebas on a wall instead of a slide it would almost look like they were climbers in sleeping bags... except for when they do that dividing thing.

And yes, I'd definitely love to climb with the Amoebas.
