A NOTE FROM ME <- -> A PARAGRAPH ON ME 

5. Cirudad de Dios, 5.14d 






          Spain,  March, 2015 
“American climber Ashima Shiraishi, 13, is currently on spring break in Spain. Last week she sent what might be a 5.15a, making her the first woman and youngest climber ever to send the grade.

Ashima seems to be surprising herself these days as she updated her Instagram with, “Ahhhhh!!!! I sent my second project Ciudad de Dios 9a/9a+. This one took me three days to SEND!”

Crossroad Studios has a number of great photos, follow on Instagram here

The route Ashima sent, Ciudad de Dios 5.14d/5.15a, was first climbed by Eduard Marín in 2009 and is found at Santa Linya, the same crag as her first 5.15a, Open Your Mind Direct.“
