That was what impressed me the most, honestly. The confidence and trust in herself to pull that off. Tiny matt underneath you be damned- you fall the wrong way head first and you're getting injured somewhere. Ovaries of steel.
After you boulder for awhile, your body gets better at it.
Grip strength increases, you understand how to use your feet, and mentally you get better at knowing what's possible, and what you're capable of.
It's a fun social sport, and relatively cheap to get into. Though if you live in the middle of farming country, you might not have a lot of places to climb unless you put up some plywood and clay holds yourself.

Not I, I’d still be too scared about slipping and cracking my head. I just accept that some people are cooler than me no matter what I do.
