One month after Jessica Pilz started climbing, she took part in a local competition because the gym wasn't far from home and her trainer said she should compete just for fun. She felt absolutely no pressure and just climbed up the wall as far as she could.

Soon she started competing in national competitions, and once she was ranked among the top four she was allowed to move up to international competitions in the Youth B category.
