The force normal to the wall exerted by the climber's feet is Usin[28o], where you is some unknown compressive force in the climber's legs. The vertical force exerted on the wall by the climber's feet is Ucos[28o]. At the point of impending motion, the coefficient of static friction will be Ucos[28o]/(Usin[28o]) = 1/tan[28o] = 1.88. Her shoes are pretty sticky.
