YES CABOT. I was hoping she’d be #1!

OH MY GOD I laughed so hard at that.

Okay, have half of you read the facts? A bunch of the sports they are “replacing it” with are only being considered. Wrestling, in my opinion, is a great sport. Why don’t they take out “race walking” or whatever. Also, NOT COOL DUDE. Don’t diss climbing. Have you seen it done.

Haha. I saw this. Despite being such smart kids, they don’t have much common sense. All three of them lost their chances to go on to finals. Jeez.

This is so adorable haha I love this even though I am American… I do some of these things all to not be a “bother” to others, like asking for directions or new silverware at a restaurant if mine is dirty (I’ll just wipe it off instead, no worries)

#6 the asker is named “Hitler’s one testicle”… What. I also very much enjoy the little picture responses to each question. Amen to this article (haha irony).

Oh man this show was the best. I could never even decide who my favorite sailor was they were all fantastic… Wasn’t there a pink-haired assistant to Sailor Moon? I totally forgot her name though.

You’re right about Brooke’s and other young kids’ raw strength; they never seem to lose energy. The other girl her age that was mentioned as a record breaker is most likely Ashima Shiraishi, a world-class boulderer from New York, who is wicked strong as well. However, despite all of these physical attributes kids have, the thing they lack is the attitude and the drive. After all, they are kids. Most of them don’t take things very seriously, especially amongst the kids I help to coach. Brooke is one of the few who does. She trains hard, doesn’t give up, and still has fun doing it. Her still childish mind might make her cry on a day which she doesn’t send, but she gets back up and goes at it again.  This, I believe, is what separates Brooke from the numerous other kid climbers I see every day and makes her the powerhouse that she is.

I’m so glad that climbing is finally getting into the public eye! I climb myself and this girl is a crazy crusher. Looking forward to climbing with her mom in the spring!
