Mountain climbing history from the age of 14 to the spring break

In the spring vacation trip to Japan this week, Ashinagi Shiraishi of New York City became difficult to climb due to mountaineering problems. Shiraishi is not the first woman who overcame the Boulder problem of V 15, just because he was ashamed of the birthday of 15 years old, he is also the youngest person ever.

Shiroishi specializes in Bouldering or rocks typically 15 to 20 feet high, using climbing shoes, without using rope or harness, using only hard mats for protection from falling . Boulder's problem is the easiest range from V 0 to the most difficult V 16 range. The V15 she climbed is named Horizon, and only one other is climbing.

Shiraishi spent the last spring vacation by making a head line when I became the first woman to climb to 5.15 a at sports climbing using rope and gear. There is also a unique evaluation system. Bouldering and sports climbing require a variety of strengths and styles, so most of the riders are rather good, so Shiraishi's achievements will become even more prominent.

"Performing such a high level in both fields is similar to a runner winning the Olympic medal in both Sprint and Long Distance," recently for Shiroishi's National Geographic Adventure Andrew Bisharat, a prominent mountaineering journalist who covers the first women rising, wrote.

Climbing the Shiroishi Horizon will be on the autumn 's REEL ROCK tour.
