Ella bajaba a la cocina por las ma\u00f1anas solo para encontrar a Benji encima del mostrador, al que hab\u00eda subido usando las manillas de los gabinetes como poleas o puntos de apoyo en su ascenso.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avanzando a un verano en el que Kelly llev\u00f3 a sus dos hijos peque\u00f1os al trabajo en Beaver Creek, d\u00e1ndoles la oportunidad de jugar en el muro de escalada y el trampol\u00edn el\u00e1stico. \u201cBenji no ten\u00eda inter\u00e9s en nada m\u00e1s que pasar horas en el muro de escalada\u201d, dice Kelly. Al final de ese verano, aunque solo ten\u00eda cinco a\u00f1os, el pap\u00e1 de Benji, Dave, pens\u00f3 que ser\u00eda bueno que se uniera a un equipo de escalada. Despu\u00e9s de observarlo maniobrar en el muro en el Vail Athletic Club, el entrenador de escalada hizo una \u201cexcepci\u00f3n por edad\u201d y dej\u00f3 que el ascendente Benji se uniera al equipo.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desde entonces, Benji ha ganado su divisi\u00f3n por edad en los GoPro Games durante los \u00faltimos dos veranos y se destaca tanto en b\u00falder como en escalada deportiva.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viajar por el estado y la regi\u00f3n es necesario, al igual que las pr\u00e1cticas bisemanales. Ahora que participa la hermana menor de Benji, as\u00ed como pap\u00e1 y mam\u00e1, la escalada se ha convertido en una forma de disfrutar una tarde juntos despu\u00e9s de una ma\u00f1ana en las pistas u otras actividades.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahora con 11 a\u00f1os, Benji ha llegado a la selecci\u00f3n nacional. Si se recualifica cada a\u00f1o, podr\u00e1 competir en Norteam\u00e9rica y, eventualmente, en todo el mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMe gusta que sea un deporte individual y que puedas alcanzar tu m\u00e1ximo potencial\u201d, dice. \u201cEspero que la escalada pueda entrar en los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos y que pueda vivir de esto\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tambi\u00e9n participa en deportes de secundaria: baloncesto, f\u00fatbol americano y atletismo. Tiene un horario apretado, pero Benji dice que disfruta de todo, especialmente del tiempo que pasa con sus compa\u00f1eros de equipo.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCuando juego f\u00fatbol americano soy liniero, as\u00ed que no siempre puedo alcanzar a la persona que se supone que debo y quiero demostrar lo bueno que puedes ser en el deporte, as\u00ed que es dif\u00edcil\u201d, dice. \u201cPero en la escalada puedes demostrar lo bueno que eres en la ruta y si te caes o algo sale mal, no te rindes, sigues adelante\u201d.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a toddler, Benjamin (Benji) Dantas would scare his poor mother, Kelly, a Vail Valley Medical Center employee, on a daily basis.
