Don’t look down! Have you 1 looked down from a tall cliff or mountain? How did you feel? Some people hate it, but for Gabriella Moreno Díaz, a fifteen-year-old from Bogotá, it’s very exciting. She tells us how she became interested in rock climbing and why she loves it.
My first experience was when I was 13. I 2 to the coast with my parents and climbed large rocks on the beach. It was very exciting, and I loved 3 high above the ground. After that, I wanted 4 it again very soon.
My opportunity came the following year. I went to a birthday party where there was a special wall for climbing. It was more difficult than I imagined. You have to think about the position of your hands, legs, and feet. If you aren’t careful, you 5 fall. I was so tired when I arrived at the top of the wall, but it was really 6!
A few months later, I joined a rock-climbing club. They often took me to a 7 that is popular for rock climbing, the Valle Escondido, near my house. It was beautiful, with big hills on both sides. I entered my first competition at the club when I was 15 and won third prize. I’ve never won first prize in an international competition, but I will one day!
I’ve only climbed in Colombia, but I want to try famous mountains and rocks in other countries. I’m going to go to the U. S. next year with my climbing club. We’ll 8 go to Yosemite National Park in California.
Yosemite is famous for its spectacular valleys, lakes, waterfalls, and forests. We’re going for its cliffs and mountains, but I’m going for another reason, too. 9 hero, Ashima Shiraishi, has just climbed the cliffs in Yosemite, and I want to climb the same cliffs. Ashima was born in New York City, but her parents are Japanese. She started climbing when she was 6. When she was 11, Ashima was the best rock climber in the world. She’s climbed in South Africa, Spain, Japan, and Yosemite National Park in the U. S. Now, she’s trying to climb mountains that no women have climbed before.
