Lara Neumeier is the first woman to climb Rhapsody. E11 7a / 8c+ trad.
Dumbarton Rock, Scotland, exactly 20 years after Dave MacLeod established the route that gave birth to the E11 grade. A line that has turned away almost everyone in two decades, climbed only by the likes of Sonnie Trotter, Steve McClure, James Pearson, Jacopo Larcher and more.
Lara sent it on October 7, leading it and placing all the gear herself, after 16 days of work across two trips.
The secret? A foot. “It all came down to one really tiny, poor foothold for my left foot. I had to place it precisely and trust it 100% to feel confident enough to commit to the moves above.” On send day she nearly slipped off a wet section, but held on: “From there everything clicked.”
And at the top: “I had put more energy, work and determination into Rhapsody than into any route before. It reminded me how important it is to trust yourself, and that trying hard things shows you how far you can go and where there is still room for more.”
Congrats @laraneumeier, a huge page in the history of women’s trad climbing.

RHAPSODY E11
This one feels special. Incredibly proud of myself.
After climbing Psychogramm last year, I knew I wanted to do more in this style. Rhapsody felt like the perfect challenge, and after a short trip to Scotland this spring, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I couldn’t wait to get back on this line in the fall.
I loved the process of projecting Rhapsody and making progress every single day, even though there were plenty of ups and downs and moments of doubt along the way. The day before the send, I linked the whole top section on lead and managed the huge runout without getting too scared. For the first time, I truly believed I could do it.
The next day, with perfect conditions, I sent it first try. Topping out Rhapsody felt incredibly special. A moment of pure happiness that will stay with me for a long time.
Thanks @climbermacleod for putting up such a beautiful line, @nemuel_feurle for sharing this adventure and huge congrats for jumping on the send train on the same day! Pressure was on ;). And a big thanks to all the kind and supportive locals, the sweetest film crew, and everyone who made this trip unforgettable.

E11 REMASTERED | KENDAL MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL | 22 NOVEMBER
Twenty years after its original release, E11 is returning to the big screen at Kendal Mountain Festival.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been revisiting the original film, restoring and regrading the footage, creating a new 4K remaster, and giving it a new sound design and mix.
It’s been a real trip back into the film, and I’m looking forward to seeing it with an audience again.
Joining me after the screening will be Steve McClure, who made the third ascent of Rhapsody in 2008, and Lara Neumeier, fresh from making the first female ascent, for a discussion on the route and what it’s really like on the sharp end of Rhapsody.
I’ll be sharing more over the coming days, including clips and before-and-after comparisons from the remaster.

Sie schreibt Geschichte!🧗
Lara Neumeier hat als erste Frau weltweit die legendäre Trad-Route „Rhapsody“ (E11 / 8c+) am Dumbarton Rock in Schottland geklettert! 🤝
Die 35 Meter lange Route wurde 2006 von Dave MacLeod erstbegangen und war damals die erste E11-Route der Welt.

this is how you send Rhapsody (E11) 💪
even a 20 metre drop isn’t enough to hold @laraneumeier back 🫡

For over twenty years, the overhanging face of Rhapsody (E11, 5.14c) on Dumbarton Rock in Scotland has beckoned the world’s best climbers. Its desperate finale, a V11crux coming 10-metre above a tiny nut, is the stuff of climbing lore. Ascents are rare. And never has the route been climbed by a woman — until now.
On October 7, Arc’teryx climber Lara Neumeier (@laraneumeier) topped out the iconic route, marking a milestone in the progression of trad-climbing.
“Rhapsody has such a reputation — there are so many videos online of those huge whips. But I don’t think the fear of falling was the main challenge for me. The hardest part was before I even got on the route, questioning whether I was strong enough to actually climb it.”
“On my send, even though I almost slipped on the lower crack because it was wet, I managed to refocus and get straight back into my flow. It was like being in a tunnel. My awareness of my surroundings narrowed. I lost track of time. All I could think about was the next move.”
“Topping out was a really special. I’d spent so much time wondering if it was possible. Rhapsody reminded me how important it is to trust yourself, and that trying hard things shows you how far you can go.”
Persistence ✅ Believing ✅ Rhapsody ✅
Congrats on the send, Lara.
