Timeline

1978

She is the only child of Tsuya and Hisatoshi Shiraishi, who immigrated from Japan in 1978 to New York City.

Her father, Hisatoshi "Poppo" Shiraishi, was trained as a dancer in Butoh.

When she was 6 years old, her parents took her to Central Park, where she started climbing at Rat Rock.

She later climbed at Brooklyn Boulders in Gowanus, Brooklyn.

2001

Ashima Shiraishi (白石阿島, Shiraishi Ashima, born April 3, 2001) is an American rock climber.

Shiraishi started climbing at the age of six at Rat Rock in Central Park, joining her father.

Only a few years later, she quickly established herself as one of the top boulderers and sport climbers in the world.

Her numerous accolades include first-place finishes in international competitions, and multiple first female and youngest ascents.

Shiraishi was born in New York City on April 3, 2001.

2008

Shiraishi began climbing competitively at age 7, in 2008, and paired with coach Obe Carrion, an accomplished climber.

2012

Shiraishi is featured in several short documentary-style films, and is the subject of the documentary short "Return to the Red" (2012).

At age 13 she became the second-ever female, and youngest person, to climb a sport route with a difficulty grade of 5.14d/5.15a (9a/9a+).

Their partnership ended in 2012, largely due to tensions and disagreements between Carrion and Shiraishi's father, who has coached her since.

At age 8, Shiraishi climbed the classic boulder problem Power of Silence (V10), in Hueco Tanks, Texas.

At age 9, she climbed Chablanke (V11/12) and Roger in the Shower (V11) in Hueco Tanks, and several other difficult boulders.

At age 10, she climbed Fred Nicole's notorious Crown of Aragorn (V13) also in Hueco Tanks.

She is the youngest person ever to climb this grade, and one of very few female climbers to climb a confirmed V13.

Shiraishi also excelled in lead climbing.

At age 11, in October 2012, she climbed Southern Smoke at the Red River Gorge, a grade 5.14c (8c+) sport route, becoming the youngest person to climb a route of this difficulty.

2013

In 2013, Shiraishi continued to excel at both bouldering and lead climbing, adding a 5.14a (Slow Food at Céüse) two more V13s (One Summer in Paradise and Automator) and finally two 5.14c's (24 Karats and 50 Words for Pump).

2014

In July 2014, she climbed what might be her first V14, Golden Shadow; however, there is a suggestion that Golden Shadow is V13 or V13/V14.

She was the second officially recorded female climber (after Tomoko Ogawa) to successfully climb a V14 problem.

2015

On the first day of 2015, she climbed her second V14 (V13/V14), The Swarm, claiming the first female top-out of the problem.

At age 13, Shiraishi climbed her first 5.14d (9a), Open Your Mind Direct R1 in Santa Linya.

The route was thought to be harder while Shiraishi was attempting it, for a few months earlier a hold had broken off near the top.

However, on Christmas Day of 2015, Edu Márin Garcia climbed the route past Shiraishi's end point to the second top and confirmed Shiraishi's route as a 5.14d (9a).

In the same climbing trip, Shiraishi climbed Ciudad de Dios, making her the youngest athlete to climb a 5.14d/5.15a (9a/9a+) and the second female climber to climb at this level.

The route has been climbed by 6 other athletes, but there is still no definite consensus on whether the grade is 5.14d or 5.15a.

In 2015, 2016, and 2017 Shiraishi won the IFSC World Youth Championships for both Lead and Bouldering in the Female Youth B category.

2016

In 2016, she made the second ascent of Horizon in Mount Hiei, Japan and became the first-ever female to solve a boulder.

In March 2016, at 14 years old, she climbed the boulder problem Horizon (8C/V15) in Mount Hiei, Japan.

She is the second person ever to finish this problem.

With this achievement she became the first female climber as well as the youngest climber to climb this bouldering grade.

A few months later, she climbed Sleepy Rave, another V15 (or V14 according to some), in Grampians National Park, Australia.

2017

In 2017, she was the winner of the female sport category at the USA Climbing Sport & Speed Open National Championships (SCS nationals) held in Denver, Colorado, and placed second at the USA Climbing Bouldering Nationals (ABS nationals) to 10-time champion Alex Puccio.

In the same year, she started competing in the Climbing World Cup as an adult.

2020

In 2020 Shiraishi wrote How To Solve A Problem, an illustrated children's book with drawings by Yao Xiao.

She is sponsored by Evolv, Arc’teryx, Clif Bar, Petzl, Coca-Cola Japan, All Nippon Airways and Nikon.

In 2021, she enrolled at University of California, Los Angeles, studying neuroscience and environmental science.

She has been referred to as a "bouldering phenom" by the New York Times and as a "Gretzky of the granite" by The New Yorker.
