Well, considering that (a) she made the report herself and (b) she has
been shown to be exceedingly highly skilled, and exceedingly careful,
I see no reason to doubt her.  Also, she doesn't seem to boast at all,
although she does occasionally show off, just to remind people that
she really is as good as her reputation and not to be trifled with.

Although she may have lied after all (we *never* know when anything in
a fiction is a lie or not, and that goes most especially for anything
written by SKZB), since there's that really huge time discrepancy
thing (maybe she spent a day climbing a wall?  :-) ).
