Yes, I think it was.  I think she got the first female ascent.

Excited to get on some of these...maybe not Lynn Hill's (unrepeated?) 5.12c R, though ;).

Yellow Crack Direct has been repeated.

Etha,

I know of a 5.easy crack that could use a scrubbing (it'd be a FRA) and a slab to it's right.  Would be a quickie new route ground-up 15 minutes from the car.  Send me a PM, you're welcome to my drill and the beta and you can join the list!

From here:

• Running Man 5.13d - Lynn Hill (1989)
• Artificial Intelligence 5.13a - Lynn Hill (1984)
• Typar 5.13a (TR) - Liza Mills (1990s)
• Tweazle Roof 5.13a - Lynn Hill (1987)
• Girls Just Want To Have Fun 5.12d - Lynn Hill (1987)
• Organic Iron 5.12d - Lynn Hill (1985)
• Darey Area 5.12c (TR) - Lynn Hill (1986)
• Yellow Crack 512c - Lynn Hill (1984)
• Poopooplexy 5.12a (TR) - Thea Marie Blodgett Gallahan (2012)
• Devine Wind 5.12a (TR) - Barbara Devine (1985)

Etha,
   I have a line (at the place you climbed with me) that is all yours if you want it.  Probably mid to hard 10.  As you know I have a drill.  
IMHO...a FFA is a bit demeaning to women.  Get an FA.

For "Minty" at the Gunks, was Minty Warren male or female?

I am guessing OP meant "first free ascent", rather than "first female ascent".

Thanks Chris and Brian for the offers--that's incredibly generous of you! I'll send you both PMs.

Thanks also to everyone for the great information, stories, and photos!

And yep, I meant "first free ascent"...there should really be some way of disambiguating the abbreviation FFA.

That may be but I believe others are referring to First Female Ascent.  For example, Liquid Sky at Cathedral. FA Jim Surette First Female Ascent Lisa Conway.                                    

Social Obligation 10c  FA Leslie Smith and Frosted Flakes .7 /Fresh Squeezed 12d FA Paula king. Rumney.

 I have  done a number  of FFAs  in vt  mostly  bolton and prospect rock, a lot of the ones at prospect  were R  rated  and had  bolts added later  by other  parties.  I am not offended by this nor would I ever consider chopping the bolts. I prefer the routes to be accessible by everybody. I've also done a number of less-than-stellar FFA ground up and have not mentioned them to anybody because I don't want my name associated with garbage in the Guidebook. For me it's about the experience of traveling new Terrain not about my 15 minutes of fame.

Raubenheimer Special led by Krist Raubenheimer. I always assumed Jackie was named after a woman, but I guess it is actually named after the FAist Jack Taylor.

Are we talking like, really good routes or just any of them? I can probably give you a few if classic status is not something you care about.

Also, bump to what Max said about the Adirondack Rock FA list.

Thanks Chris and Bryce for the route names and June for the insight into your experience & philosophy doing FA's out here!

Kris, any route is fair game! And yeah, the ADK FA list is indeed super useful--would be neat to make similar databases for other areas.

Also...I remember first ascents by women discussed in "Yankee Rock and Ice."  While it may not be all inclusive of all FAs there is some good history on some of the early women climbers.

MUCH more recently, Val Bachinsky put up a line at Crane Mt. ...

Thanks for thinking of her Mike.

Her prouder FA is "Kill It Before It Spreads", also at Crane.  Harder route of her two.  :)

Yodellaybackloon was tougher to put up, due to the prior mankiness of the corner.  I wonder how it's fairing all these years later...

She also had a line at Lake George (Eagle Cliff), but had been told after it was a route climbed prior just never reported.  At least it's cleaned up and documented now.
