Ashima Shiraishi is more hardcore than everyone

Boulderer Ashima Shiraishi (who's now aged 10) has been tearing up the sport climbing scene in Kentucky, climbing numerous 5.13s, including one 5.13d and a 5.13b onsight.

Here's an interview with her where she discusses getting started bouldering in Central Park, and having to use different beta on Power of Silence from climbers who are over 4 foot tall.
