Brooke Raboutou has been climbing since she could walk. Now, at age 18, she is the first U.S. climber to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The University of San Diego sophomore has been surrounded by climbing her entire life. For starters, both of her parents were professional climbers: her dad is a three-time World Cup champion, and her mom is a five-time U.S. champion and four-time World Cup Champion.
