Get her doing little easy climbs (like 6-8m grade 10's), My Girlie didnt want to have anything to do with it but started learning how to belay me , then one day at the gym when it was really quiet she had a try of a couple of grade 6 and 8's, Bought her all the gear, shoes, harness, helmet, chalk bag, her own krab and ATC (all colour coordinated of course...) and now she climbs outdoors with me too.. She seconds up to grade 15 (and evaluates every piece she pulls out....) We did a lead climbing 2 day course, The company let her attend for free as she wasnt climbing but she learnt all about rope techniques, placing pro etc (at ground level)... So start her slow and easy... good luck
