Yea, it's amazing the amount of controversy this has generated on the interwebs and the amount of people who are saying negative things about it. I just don't get it. Why can't people just be so happy for this little girl? She is so amazing. I saw her bouldering in Central Park a few years ago and had no clue she was going to be this prodigy.

I think it is because so many climbers base their entire identity on climbing and their ability to do so well. When an 8 year old hikes something you will never be able to touch, its more than the ego can handle.

These are the people that drop out of climbing within 5-10 years.

8 year old girls have little weight to carry up the rock (remember this is a strength-to-weight ratio sport) and I've been told - haven't researched it yet - that young'ins have a higher lactic acid threshold than adults.
