Video from her first trip to Magic doing her third 8A. Interestingly, the 18-year-old has never needed more than three sessions doing any of her five 8A's. She only started climbing in 2017 with a background in artistic gymnastics. In March 2020, she had to do a shoulder surgery.
"The reason for my shoulder surgery was a slap lesion in my right shoulder. I had shoulder pain for quite some time which was induced due to overtraining. At the beginning of July last year, I started climbing again - towards August/September I was able to return to full training."
