This 15-year-old girl can become the best climber in the world

Ashima Shiraishi rubs her hands with chalk and examines the wall of the cave, where she will climb right now. From the outside it looks like an impregnable fortress, as if a huge monster had bitten off all the available protrusions of the climbing wall in Long Island City. However, the girl sees in this only an easy warm-up. Within a few seconds she overcomes the entire distance and climbs to the very top. The sophisticated audience below opened their mouths with amazement. The best climber of modern times makes up the somersault and demonstrates the stance on one hand.

She is only 15 years old

Surprisingly, this fearless American girl of Japanese origin is only 15 years old. Give her to finish high school, and she really will reveal her full potential. She can beat all records and climb to the most impregnable peaks, which before her could not be a single man and no woman.

The only woman on the planet who conquered the category of complexity V15

Ashima started climbing at the age of 6, scrambling on the steep boulders of Central Park in New York. Within two years, she began to wear the proud title of the youngest climber ever making ascents around the world. And a few years later the girl submitted to the title of world champion. Unbroken boulders remained ever less. In March 2016, Ashima flew to Japan and became the only woman who ever conquered Horizon, a boulder problem of the V15 difficulty category. Note that climbers make rides on boulders from the simplest to the most difficult level (from V0 to V16 respectively). As you can see, our heroine is left to conquer just one step.

Sex does not matter

According to Ashima herself, the climber's floor does not matter at all. A person just stands facing the wall. It does not matter whether the candidates are large or smaller. All solve the same difficult task. Only determination, dedication and concentration are important here. All this makes the climber stronger.

Infinite talent

However, the girl modestly keeps silent about the most important of her weapons - unlimited talent. People who saw her training in gyms, unanimously recognize her climbing style phenomenal. In addition, she has a supernatural sense of calm. What else is needed for a person struggling with difficult circumstances? Ashima creatively approaches the fulfillment of his task and selflessly loves his work. While other climbing climbers are constantly looking down and checking to see if they are doing the right thing, our heroine is improvising. We can say that it depicts with its movements intricate geometric patterns.

Conclusion

According to the young talented American, it is important to love what you are doing. It is important for her to feel victory over herself and her own abilities, and not victory over rivals. Thus, she inspires everyone around: from small girls to tattooed mods. In 2020, rock climbing will become the official Olympic sport. By that time Ashime Sharaishi will be only 19 years old.
