    In India, the word "aseema" means limitless or without boundaries. Quite an appropriate name for this kid.

    Ashima is such an amazing climber and an all-around great kid. I see her a lot at BKB and she has a fantastic attitude and is often cheering on other climbers around her. Her humility as well as her style are inspirational.

    too bad shes japanese, not indian.

    therefore the roots of the name differ and should not be mingled with foreign pronunciation

    I met Ashima at the 2013 bouldering divisional series in NJ. It was super cool to meet her and watch her incredible strength and technique!

    One of the best parts was the interview of the dad. He explained that he was a dancer and knows how to contort his body and tries to teach her that but that he cannot help her with climbing technique. As a coach in a different sport, I commend him for that. We love when parents get involved and try to help their kids. Many don't know the limits of their skills though and teach them wrong things. He knew his limit and let the coach take over from there. Kudos to him
