Balancing Professional Climbing and College - Sasha Digiulian

Is climbing a first route on a rock face or finishing final exams in college harder? That's the question Boyd asked Sasha DiGiulian, who is the first person to successfully climb a new route up a rock face in South Africa. A successful first climb means reaching the top without any falls. She named the new route "Rolihlahla," after Nelson Mandela, because when she was climbing, he was very ill. DiGiulian specializes in sport climbing which utilizes a safety rope, a method which allows her to take on more difficult climbing challenges, and allows her to push the "physical and mental limit."
