Slovenian sport climbing star Janja Garnbret has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first woman to ascend Bibliographie, a renowned route in the French Alps. The climb was completed in June 2026, according to a report by Forbes contributor Tim Genske.
Bibliographie, located in the Céüse climbing area, is graded 9b (5.15b) and has long been considered one of the world's most challenging sport climbing routes. Garnbret's ascent marks a significant breakthrough in women's climbing, as the route had previously only been climbed by male athletes.
The 25-year-old Garnbret, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and multiple world champion, continues to push the boundaries of the sport. Her achievement was documented with photography courtesy of Red Bull.
