This mini documentary warmed my heart. It’s well made and very inspiring. It’s hard to believe in yourself, when you see so many strong role models around you. But everyone can be a role model for someone else and I‘m 100% sure what ever happens, she is already inspiring and impressing people.

So much gratitude to both of you in your climbing inspiration. But I have to disagree when he says being sensitive is a barrier. That she should be more confident. I think clarity in climbing is important, knowing where you are, not being confident. I think she is super good because she sees other athletes as stronger than her. And being sensitive is (not ego sensitive) always a great way to live.

thanks for your message :) yes I think knowing where you are is very important but I do think self confidence is also super important in climbing, especially when it comes to competitions. There are days I don't train properly because there are strong girls at the gym and I'm afraid what they will think of me if I climb and I'm not as good as them. So it's a bit limiting :) I guess it's all about the right balance !

Amazing vibe!!

Great video! Interesting to hear about your motivation for different aspects of climbing. Good luck in your future projects 💪

it was a joke 😉 I don't feel old in real life, just on the circuit sometimes as I'm competing with people in their twenties (when not even younger) !

So cool ! And even if it probably isn't gonna end up with her qualifying she's still gonna get super strong and then be able to send cool stuff outside ❤

@@svanabjarnason6717 maybe a 9a proj ? That'd be sooo sick

But does she have a chance now still? I saw in lead she is 94. spot and in boulder 126 at the time of this comment. Seems quite low spots for a qualification for the Olympics 2024. I loved the documentary and her spirit. I am quite similar. But would have liked if you had touched on this.

The Olympic Qualifier Series are on May 16th and June 21st so yes, I still have a chance ! Gotta be real strong at these comps 👊🏼

Me at 41 now thinking wow 32 is young haha but when your 30 you think your old . Age is weird right . Just be happy to be the age you are and be happy with how your looks change in the mirror. Can’t look 30 forever

Wait, you’re telling us that behind a hyper-active Instagram influencer account of bikinis and hair and plastic pink stuff there is…an insecure person??? Alarming.

It's just her way of dealing with it, there's no need to be cynical about it, is there?

Her way of dealing with what….the pressure of existing? Attention from strangers for climbing themed thirst traps? This is the strategy? She has had this dark gram habit for years and years now, it has nothing to do with this comp climbing project. These types of accounts fool no one, and they make thinking people uncomfortable, because to watch is to become complicit in someone’s self destructive cycle. The refined sugar of likes and attention of strangers will never nourish. And it is sad because she does some objectively interesting things. She could do them with clothes on and/or in relative privacy and maybe her self image would grow and mature. But instead she sells it for likes and feeds the cycle of self doubt. Your assertion in the film, Jorg, that anyone would look at how she presents herself and believe that she is a happy or confident person is, not sarcastically, alarming. And zofia, I appreciate a knee jerk reaction to defend a female who is working with what she has to live her best. But I rather suspect you see what I’m saying.

Hello ! Thanks for your message.To be honest i'm not sure I understood everything 😅 And I don't really get what you're trying to say ? But I'd be happy to talk about it more in private if you feel like chatting ! There's one thing you're right about, my pink gram habit (not dark, sorry) and my insecurity have nothing to do with the Olympic project, it's been there for years. But my instagram account was never made to "fool" anyone,it's simply a reflection of who I am. As you can see in this video, I do wear bikinis when I go to the beach, I do like pink and I do have hair (?!). As for plastic stuff, now that I switched from being a rock climber to being a comp climber, yea I do love pastic. Joke aside I've always been honest on social media, never sugar coated anything, which you will figure out if you actually read my posts. Regarding my clothes... I feel sorry you don't seem to like the fact that I GENUINELY LIKE pink and animal print and that I wear (AND LIKE) shorts and bras when it's warm (fyi I live in Spain, a very warm country most of the time but when it does get cold I'm like everybody, and even worse since I wear 2 pairs of leggings, pink socks in my climbing shoes - which you will see at 0'30 in this video - and 3 down jackets). But there's nothing I can do about it and I kinda don't care as I believe everybody is allowed to LIKE and wear whatever they want. There are people who love sweat pants, I don't. Do I point my finger at them because they climb with it ? I don't think so. On that matter I strongly invite you to read my 2nd pinned post on instagram. Oh and one last thing, I'm pretty sure we don't know each other so please, don't feel like you're entitled to say I'm self destructive and not happy ;) That said, please feel free to reach out if you want to continue this discussion, I think it's an interesting subject. Happy Easter !🐰🐣
