One more 8A+ by Ashima Shiraishi (14)

Henning Wang comes with the amazing news and picture that Ashima Shiraishi has done yet another 8A+. Previously, when she was 13 years old, she did her first two 8B+'. - Unable to reach between the holds for the original sequence, Ashima made some magic yesterday, with a quick send of Bonzai (8A+/V12) using this mindblowingly powerfull sequence (in the photo) taking a huge barndoor of a coinsized crimp. Seeing here stick this move and send the boulder is one of the most impressive things I'v ever seen in climbing. Being short is aparently no longer an exuse. Amazing effort @ashimashiraishi It should be noted that Ashima has the most impressive route and boulder ticklist in the world 2015, which she actually had already in 2014. Among the male, her combined ticklist is among the Top-20. Is there any other 14 year old girl, in any sport, that are among the best male in the world?
