Trish Houghtaling (44) has done her first 8a+, Total Recall in the Pit. Trish started climbing in 1987 in Yosemite, and she also participated in some comps before she stopped climbing and started four years of competing in Iron Triathlon. This got her training harder and now she aims for harder routes.
