Of course it is, - although I'd still say, is the desire to climb ever harder routes because of the challenges and attractions those routes inspire in you, or in order to say you've climbed a certain grade?
And I can't help thinking looking at the video, that there's an awful lot of comments about 'youngest', 'breaking records', 'best', 'phenomenon' etc etc going on. Also, putting an 11 year old through that kind of training intensity, could well cause problems in later life regarding tendons, ligaments etc.
No criticism intended, just an observation and an opinion.
