sorry but all of your facts are outdated...
- yurihama onsighted .14b a few months ago,
- Jose from Spain has onsighted much harder than .13a!,
- she again has redpointed .14d (ex. bain de sang),
as for extreme soloist I would not forget Alexander Huber who has soloed .14a (8b+).

I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.
