Committed Episode 2: Babsi Zangerl on Greenspit (8b+)

Greenspit is a route of mythical status. Bolted and defaced as some traditionalists would say with green hangers (hence the routes name), the route thwarted all suitors until the legendary swiss trad ace Didier Berthod chopped the bolts and made the first ascent placing natural pro. For Babsi Zangerl, Greenspit was a challenge always waiting in the wings. .. until thanks to Covid, the fall of 2020 found her home in Europe and not on El Cap. Babsi spent last fall in Italys famed Valle dellOrco where she racked up and committed to the steep roof crack. And after enduring the runouts, whips, and painful hand jams, Babsi became the first woman to succeed on Greenspit.
