Bookroo's summary

Ashima Shiraishi, a world-class climber, faces daunting boulders, each a 'problem' to solve. With every twist, fall, and scrape, she learns to see possibilities where others see obstacles. Her journey from struggle to triumph inspires readers to tackle their own life's challenges, reaching heights they never imagined. Will you rise to the challenge?

From the publisher

From Ashima Shiraishi, one of the world’s youngest and most skilled climbers, comes a true story of strength and perseverance–in rock climbing and in life. To a rock climber, a boulder is called a problem, and you solve it by climbing to the top. There are twists and turns, falls and scrapes, and obstacles that seem insurmountable until you learn to see the possibilities within them. And then there is the moment of triumph, when there’s nothing above you but sky and nothing below but a goal achieved. Ashima Shiraishi draws on her experience as a world-class climber in this story that challenges readers to tackle the problems in their own lives and rise to greater heights than they would have ever thought possible.
