This is one of the main reasons I was especially interested in this story - that and Superstu's point about her ability to focus and problem solve (along with the determination to succeed. (My question is obviously tongue in cheek). Ashimi's total engagement with climbing right from the get go singles her out as a very special sort of person.
When we had a great climbing gym here in Hobart and Barbara got a great squad of youngsters challenging themselves and achieving great things, there was terrific energy that was generated and transmitted to a whole climbing community. However, it was interesting that many of them never did translate the amazing things they were doing on plastic to the outdoor climbing environment, where real climbing happens.
I hope we see Ashimi on routes too in the future.
