The psychology of free climbing is something for all coaches to consider. It?s the ultimate.
Catherine Destivelle (born 24 July 1960) is an Algeria-born French rock climber and mountaineer. In 1992 she became the first woman to complete a solo ascent of the Eiger?s north face. ?
Destivelle has been the subject of several documentaries, including French director R?my Tezier?s, Beyond the Summits (Au-del? des cimes), which won the award for best feature-length mountain film at the 2009 Banff Mountain Film Festival ?
She was age-28 (1987) when she free-climbed an overhanging sandstone cliff in Mali.

Sport climbing just might become an Olympic event.
The sports (being considered) are: baseball, karate, roller sports, softball, sports climbing, squash, wakeboard and wushu, one of which could be added to the 2020 sports programme to be voted on by the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires in 2013.
? Catherine eventually slowed down, after one 20m+ fall and becoming a Mom.
