Nina Williams Sends Classic Highball Evilution Direct

Nina Williams is one of America’s top boulderers and has recently made the first female ascent of Evilution Direct V11.

The tall route is on the steep south wall of the Grandpa Peabody boulder in the Buttermilks of Bishop. The first ascent was in 2002 by Jason Kehl and a variation to the V12 top-out was climbed at V11 by Tony Lamiche.

Evilution Direct ✔️ ? @beauknowsphotos ? It's a line that sticks in your mind if you've ever been to the Milks, and it certainly stuck in mine. Last night was one of those 'perfect send' moments when every move felt just right. Big ups (hehe puns) in particular to @organicclimbing for always keeping me safe, along with @daniel_beall for extra paddage and @alexbiale for inspiring me with his own epic send awhile back. Big thanks to everyone to came out to support, or encouraged from afar!! @fiveten_official @adidasoutdoor @gnarlynutrition #climbing #bouldering #bishop #highball
