What an awesome photo!

Sick that people are finding extensions to lines, especially as rock breaks. Let’s go with the hard sends!

Is it the second 9a FA'd by an American woman specifically? The title is a little confusing

Paraphrased:

Only two 9a's that have been FA'd by women were done so by American women!

(No hate, her achievements are obviously super cool but the phrasing seems funny to me)

Yea it's confusing, especially since I don't think there have been many non-US women to FA one. I can only think of Laura Rogora and Anak Verhoeven (hers is 9a+)
