Lisa Rands
Lisa Rands is an American rock climber famous for her bouldering achievements. She was first introduced to climbing while studying for her geology degree. In her early climbing years she was into top roping. The first American to rank 1st in an international bouldering World Cup, she has also climbed far in outdoor bouldering – having finished Midnight Lightning and Plain High Drifter (V11) (both considered hard boulder problems).
Lisa has also had great successes in hard traditional climbing, being the first woman to achieve the grade of E8, with ascents of The End of the Affair at Curbar Edge, and Gaia at Black Rocks, both in England’s Peak District: routes notorious as being both extremely hard and extremely dangerous, with a fall carrying the most disastrous consequences for the climber.
She lives in Bishop, California.
