1. it blows my mind how an 11 year old can be so fascinating and amazing at something, and then the next 11 year old is annoying as fuck, and won't shut the fuck up about the shitty house he built in minecraft.
2. pro
3. Agreed. Human adaptiveness ftw :D
4. anyone that frequents a local climbing gym can tell you that children are incredible climbers and that it comes easy to them. Will she continue climbing when she hits puberty and gains weight without strength and suddenly can't climb routes that used to be easy for her. I've seen quite a few child climbers quit as soon as it gets difficult.
5. Climbing isnt that hard. The way to success is dont be afraid of heights or falling if you think you fall, you will fall.
6. wow
7. Brook is a great climber with heart, she has a great view of climbing. I think that climbing is amazing as long as your having fun. When the brother tossed the gri-gri down like a coal miner tossing his pick down on the ground, it did not look like he was having fun. If you have passion for climbing you may also have a passion for other things. I love the husbands expressions.
8. Her last name is Raboutou

10. Of course these kids are talented they started learning their talents at such young ages and most of their parents are already involved in the sports andcan afford the equipment and lessons
11. This girl's going to the top, we will hear her name for while. She just made me realize that as much as I would like to think that I'm a good climber I really suck at the sport.

19. Are you serious. How would they be able to do that anyway. There is a huge difference to fighting and every other sport.
