Sasha DiGiulian took the rock climbing world by storm from a young age. Sasha was six years old, at her brother's birthday party in her home town of Alexandria, Virginia, when she fell in love with a climbing wall.

"My brother had a birthday party at a climbing gym when I was six, so 1998. And I just really enjoyed it. I grew up doing lots of different sports, I had been skiing since I was two and I did figure skating competitively, swam, played team soccer; all these different sports."
