Brooke Raboutou was seemingly born to climb. She's been doing it since she was a toddler, and at 23 she has already scaled the mountain of getting to an Olympics. But after a fifth-place finish Tokyo she is reaching for even higher heights in Paris.
Uh so both my parents were professional rock climbers, world champions. So, yeah, I was pretty much born into it started out as just a little baby climbing rocks. Then the rest is history. My dad was building little, you know, rock walls for us in our basement and we'd go on family trips climbing. So it was just, yeah, I was allowed to climb on anything. And that was encouraged. She was a climber at a really young age and that was what was sort of most interesting to me as a parent, my friends', kids were playing with toys and make believe and my kids were really authentically interested in climbing. I personally just love heights which a lot of people maybe don't. But I love the thrill factor. And I think if you keep Traver a little bit left and then go over, it's, I just feel like in control when I'm can see everything about me and I like that aspect. I'll leave it up there. I went up and then over. But there's also good whole time when we're sharing the same passion. That's the beauty of, of our relationship and of the sport is that we can still practice it together. We help each other just balancing ideas, whether it's like in life or climbing, just talking through it and then, like, learning together. Yes.
