After a slow start, Alex has picked up steam at Hueco Tanks and claimed what is likely the first female ascent of El Techo de los Tres B (V11).

The problem is located on North Mountain and requires serious core tension and powerful shoulders to climb out a steep roof. Although originally graded V13, a hold has broken and, interestingly, dropped the grade to V11. Alex has also managed to climb El Chupacabra Left (V10).
   
Check out this video of Brian Antheunisse sending El Techo and look for an interview with him soon.
