I’m trying to figure out how she does it. A combination of skin sticking to what look to be smooth, “stone” walls, low weight but strong muscles relative to size.
Her mother describes her as mischievous; but I’d describe her as a kid and, gosh darn it, I’d be doing the same thing right now if f I were her!

Yeah it’s just a kid being a kid. She lives in an urban area so they likely don’t have access to big trees to climb for fun. And as a kid i used to do this a lot but with door frames and in a somewhat narrow hallway that we had in the house that i grew up in. We’d have fun shimming all the way up just because.

If the walls are very smooth/glossy, with adequate humidity, I could see a kid being able to ‘stick’ to the walls. Their skin wouldn’t have much hair, if any, to interfere with adhesion.

Somehow, that this is behavior associated with horror movies, just makes the kid all the more adorable.

I’d probably be in trouble if I existed in a horror movie. “The little one has started speaking in Latin, backwards! Gasp - how adorable!”

It is a rock climbing technique called chimneying. Get the girl to the local crag. The junior nationals are coming up.
