“Ashima Shiraishi is an American rock climber from New York City. At just 15 years old, she balances her time between high school, friends, and normal
teenage activities in addition to rigorous training and competitions with other world-class athletes. While some attribute her success to her accomplishments
as a young female athlete, many of the world’s top climbers generally regard her as one of the best climbing athletes despite age and gender.”
