From her bio at Kidzworld.com: “Tori Allen grew up climbing trees with monkeys in the jungles of Africa. She now lives in the United States – but she’s still one of the best climbers and she still hangs out with monkeys. When Tori Allen was four years old, she moved with her parents to Benin, a small country in Africa, because her parents were working in a Christian mission. While she was there, Tori began climbing trees and soon adopted a mona monkey named Georgie who followed her into the trees everywhere. Before Tori Allen and her family returned to the United States, Georgie was bitten by a snake and died. While Georgie went to monkey heaven, Tori went to Indiana and started climbing on climbing walls when she was 10. A month later Tori Allen entered her first wall climbing competition and won.”
Tori won the speed climbing title at the X games in 2002.
