Laura Rogora Sends 5.15b in Spain

Laura Rogora, 19, has climbed her first 5.15b with Ali Hulk Sit Start Extension in Rodellar, Spain. The 15-move sit start finishes on top of the 5.15a extension added to the original by Jon Flor.

Rogora is the second woman to send 5.15b with the first being Angy Eiter in 2017. Rogora, who qualified for the Olympics, sent her first 5.14d at 14 and is considered one of the best climbers in the world for her age. She’s climbed over a dozen routes 5.14+ to 5.15b.
