A four-year-old girl has been climbing walls since she was just 11 months old — and is now able to climb 52 feet in the air.
Isla Murr, a four-year-old from Sydney, Australia, has been climbing up and over things since she was just 11 months old.
Her mother, Lucy Murr, told news agency SWNS that she began taking the toddler to playgrounds at a young age.
She said her little girl has been climbing things since she could first walk.

After her daughter became bored with the playground scene, Murr began showing her daughter rock-climbing videos to see if that was something she would take an interest in.
"She’d see videos of rock-climbing and say, ‘I wanna do that, Mom. Can I do that?’" said Murr.

For safety reasons, no rock-climbing facility would take the child at such a young age — until she turned four, said Murr.

"They wouldn’t let her in because she was too young, which I understand, but I knew she could do it," the mom told SWNS.
The child would often say she looked forward to turning four just so she could go rock-climbing, her mom noted.
