Natalia Grossman's Climbing Journey
Natalia Grossman began her climbing journey at a young age after visiting a climbing gym near her home. Initially drawn to climbing while participating in gymnastics, she quickly progressed and started competing at a young age. By the time she was ten, she shifted her focus entirely to climbing due to her growing passion and the demands of balancing both sports.
