"Ashima Shiraishi, 14, made history today when she sent Horizon (8C/V15) at Mount Hiei, Japan. She became the first female and the youngest person to climb V15." |

Awesome! First Female and Youngest. So inspiring! |

That's pretty rad. I always figured Puccio would be the first woman send v15, but I was wrong! I feel like climbing is slowly getting to the point where high-level competitions may not need to be separated by gender. I would love to watch an IFSC event in a couple years and see Ashima competing with Ondra or something. |

I routinely see women (and girls for that matter!) run up boulder problems that take me quite a while to figure out. |
