- Right after school I just like try to like run to the gym,
so I can climb (laughs).
(peppy music)
It's a dangerous sport
but the only thing that I'm afraid of
is not being able to get to the top.
(peppy music)
With climbing I don't think that
it really matters with how big you are.
If you're smaller, you can hold on longer
and your hands might be smaller
so it can fit more fingers on holds.

I started climbing in Central Park
when I was six years old.
Now I don't think I could like live without it.
(peppy music)
When you're close to the top
of the climb you're trying to do
you forearms usually feel like they're gonna explode
and they're gonna like burst open.
You feel like you have to let go,
but with climbing you just can't let go.
I think that climbing is,
it's obviously a sport, but it's also like a dance.
You sort of have to be able to like flow up the wall
and come up with your own technique to get to the top.
I think people are shocked if I do something
that they can't do or something,
because I'm still really young, and I'm a girl.
So, like, doing something that even if a guy can't do
is pretty special (laughs).
