Since the birth of her daughter, Shauna Coxsey has turned her back on competitive climbing and devoted herself to outdoor bouldering – with success. In February, she successfully climbed an extremely difficult boulder – thanks to her daughter's motivation.
In her usual meticulous manner, the British woman analyzed Shauna Coxsey the boulder Mito near Sintra, Portugal. First, she climbed the 7C exit, refined the movements of the sit start, before successfully climbing the entire line in the following session. Thanks in part to the motivating shouts of her daughter, as the following Video shows.
