She is so far ahead of any other women sport climbers at the moment. There have been a number of articles and interviews with her in the American mags over the years, apparently she is not even a full time clibmer either, she actually has a real job (or did when I last saw an article about her) and still manages to outclimb all but a few.

As to being stronger than any Australian climbers, I guess it is hard to argue with that. I wonder what it would be like though if many of the top Australian climbers went and lived in Europe for an extended period of time. Being in a place with so many elite clibmers and so many hard routes would have to have an impact on your climbing and what you define as hard.
