Has there ever been a Pure Solo female triple crown women? I mean solo by not relying on a male for everything, so don’t claim that Yoga women did it. Just curious.

If you’re talking pure solo hiking — as in the hiker never hiked or camped with another hiker — I’d bet nobody fits that description. The closest I can think of would be Brian Robinson. I don’t know Brian, but I’ve talked to other hikers who walked a few miles with him. I’d assume he slowed down from time to time to walk a bit with others.
As far as women go I’m sure there’s more, but Marmot is one, and yes I’m another.
Did I hike with other hikers? Yes, both male and female. Sometimes for a a few hours, sometimes for a few weeks, sometimes for a few months. Just because you enjoy someone’s company doesn’t mean that the two of you are not “solo” hikers. When you carry your own gear and maps (not sharing ANYTHING), and when there is no committment or agreement to stay together, then you are both solo hikers. And just because two hikers camp together does not mean they hike together. All of the hikers I’ve spent time with on the trail hike at a different pace than I do. We would generally hike alone during the day, but take breaks together and usually camp together.
Did I rely on other hikers? Hmmmm. That’s a tough one. Everyone has their strong points and weak points. I’m good at route-finding and choosing the best place to ford. Gottago keeps her cool on steep passes. Cupcake enjoys scouting out the route through snow. Dewey makes me laugh. Each person I’ve spent time with on the trail contributed positively to my hike and hope I contributed positively to theirs.
I am a solo female triple crowner. If you choose to believe differently, that’s your prerogative.

Just who is this Yoga hiker? Ohm…Ohm…Ohm 
In all seriousness, even “Flyin’ Brian” was not by himself 100%of the time. No one is on these trails.
I’ve had the pleaure of hanging with Yogi. I can tell you she is one capable person. Woman of steel as a haiku went one year…
Oh, BTW, we all rely on each other out there in some way or another. Cheering up when we are down…sharing a cold one in some trail town…lots of hugs when we finish the trip.
