Angie Scarth-Johnson Sends 5.14c in Red River Gorge

Angie Scarth-Johnson is only 12 years old and she already has a number of hard climbs to her name.

The young Australian returned this spring to the popular Kentucky crag for a send of Lucifer 5.14c. On Instagram, she wrote, “The conditions haven’t been the best at the Red and I definitely didn’t believe in myself at times, but today I pushed to the anchors and sent Lucifer 5.14c.

“I’m so happy to have done this awesome route.” A few days before the send, she ticked God’s Own Stone 5.14a at the Red. A week before that, she onsighted Elephant Man 5.13b and Straight Outta Compton 5.13b.
