The first time I ever thought about rock climbing was when I saw rock climber Tori Allen on a show called More Than Human on the Discovery Channel. You can watch it here:
Tori Allen was born in the United States but spent 4 years of her childhood in a West African countries called Benin. While she was there, she had a pet mona monkey named Georgie. Tori then started climbing trees with this monkey which resulted in her overly long fingers and arms. When she was 8 years old, she moved back to the United States where she climbed a wall for the first time. Her talent was discovered as she started entering competitions and kept winning. At the age of 13, she entered adult rock climbing and bouldering competitions and became undefeated in both categories. Tori is also the younger woman ever to climb Yosemite's, El Capitan.
More videos on Tori Allen:
