The "World records" for Ashima Shiraishi
Here are some of the amazing "world records" held by Ashima Shiraishi, most of which are actually also records for boys. Basing on her combined Route and Boulder tick list, she has been the best female rock climber in the world since she was 12 years old.
Bear in mind that all her records have been done fast as she has very limited time for climbing outdoors, living and going to school in New York. Imagine how many 8C's and 9a+'s she could do if she was a professional climber! The picture from her Instagram, where she says her goal is to compete in the Olympics.
Ashima's achievements:
9 years old: 8A, Chbalanke
10 years old: 8B, Crown of Aragorn
11 years old:
8A flash, Black Demon
8b+ flash, Omaha Beach
8c+ redpoint, Lucifer
13 years old:
8B+ Golden Shadow
