It's an impressive feat, but this article fails to mention that she wasn't "climbing" in the sense that most people use the term. She was jumaring, where you use devices to climb up a fixed rope. It's exhausting and not without skill, but it's not at all like free climbing by holding onto the rock. (See, for example, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/10-year-old-girl-climbs-yosemite-el-capitan/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/10-year-old-girl-climbs-y...</a>)<p>(Free climbers use ropes, but only to arrest falls, not to climb up. Free soloers like Alex Honnold don't even use that protection, though that's very rare and incredibly dangerous. This is "aid climbing" with ascenders. It does have dangers of its own: protection points can fail, and she's wearing a helmet because rocks do fall.)
