  • (peppy music)

  • - 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.

  • (peppy music)

  • 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).
