Update on this boy: 3 months after this video was shot he lead his first 5.11a (6c); 12 months after this video the boy led his first two 5.12s (7a+); and 15 months after this video (at age 9) the boys redpointed his first 5.13a (7c+)!
Damn he is good! 8 and leading already. Keep posting. It is great to see kids starting out so young. If he stays with it then he will be unbelievable.
theres this 9 year old girl on my climbing team that sent a 5.13a outdoors

@LisaAnnGolfTips Is he competing? Looks like he would do pretty well in youth D(11 and under). Keep climbing.
