22 year old Romy Fuchs has climbed the Jimmy Webb boulder Versace (f8B), in Brione, Switzerland.
In addition to Webb's first ascent, the boulder has seen repeats from some of the world's best climbers, including Daniel Woods, and Aidan Roberts.
Fuchs was a regular performer on the youth competition circuit until 2019, competing for Germany in both boulder and lead. In addition to Versace, Fuchs was able to climb a further five boulders at 8A and up during her brief trip to Switzerland, including Forever More (f8A+), and Kings of Sonlerto (f8A+).

Makes you wonder if she's related to the explorer Sir Vivian, of whom The Guardian apocryphally wrote "Sir Vivian Fuchs off to The Antarctic"!
