This 13-Year-Old Girl Just Finished One of the World's Hardest Rock Climbs

Open Your Mind Direct is the name given to a notoriously tricky rock climbing route in north-east Spain. On the lower part of the route, reddish brown rock curves like the inside of a barrel. On the upper part, climbers must swing their bodies in complex knots in order to reach the top of the overhanging cliff before their muscles "pump out." Only rock climbing’s top men have managed to scale the route until now. The first woman to do it climbed the route in 10 minutes last week.
