Brooke Raboutou Sends Two V14s in a Day

Brooke Raboutou recently climbed two V14 problems in one day in Rocky Mountain National Park. One being Two Ton Skeleton and the other being Jade, which was originally was V15.

“I feel so grateful to have this time to explore the park,” said Raboutou. “I have learned so much in the past few months from pushing myself outdoors. I continue to grow as a climber and person every day I spend out there, realizing what I can accomplish when I put my mind to it.”

Raboutou, 19, ticked her first V10 at age nine and then became the youngest female to climb a 5.13b. At 10, she sent V11 and became the youngest female to climb 5.13d. At 11, she became the youngest to send 5.14b.

Raboutou’s parents, Didier Raboutou and Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou, are former world champion climbers. Didier is a three-time World Cup champion and Robyn is a five-time U.S.A. champion and four-time World Cup champion.

Jade 8B+ (V14) and Two Ton Skeleton 8B (V13)? • Jade has always been a “bucket list” climb for me, but one I thought I would always need to be stronger to do, or even try. The first day I was on it I was pleasantly surprised by how I felt on the climb, second day I fell on the V10 stand and yesterday I was able to send first try of the day and felt as though I was floating up the wall. Last try of the day I managed to send Two Ton Skeleton 8B (+/-) after watching @drewruana demolish Creature from the black Lagoon 8C+ (V16). It was an incredible day, one I will remember forever!? • I feel so grateful to have this time to explore the park. I have learned so much in the past few months from pushing myself outdoors. I continue to grow as a climber and person every day I spend out there, realizing what I can accomplish when I put my mind to it. • Thanks for the photo and support @finn.stack ?
