Current holder of both the Italian lead and bouldering championship titles, 14-year-old Laura Rogora is taking the Italian climbing scene by storm. This video catches up with Laura to see what drives someone so young to push herself so hard. Watch her become the first Italian female, and one of the youngest in the world, to climb 9a/5.14d with her send of Grandi Gesti, a massive 40-meter roof in Sperlonga, Italy. She’s right on the heels of Ashima Shiraishi and Adam Ondra, who both sent 5.14d at age 13.
