This 14 year old girl is AMAZING!!“Ashima Shiraishi (born April 3, 2001 in New York, NY) is an American rock climber. She is known for being one of the strongest young climbers - male or female - of all time. She started climbing in Central Park at age seven, and at Brooklyn Boulders.The New York Times has called her a Bouldering Phenom. Outside Magazine has described her as a Young Crusher. At age 13 she became the first woman, and youngest (male/female), to climb a sport route with a difficulty grade of 9a+ (5.15a). Very few athletes in the world can climb at this level as both sport climbing grading systems and bouldering grading systems only have two additional, and more difficult, grades that Ashima has not climbed.”SourceFrom her Facebook page: “I am in 8th grade. I like to rock climb. I love sour candy and chocolate. Seriously though, I love chocolate.”GO ASHIMA!!! -- source link
