He's part of a new generation of young climbers challenging a sport which has been built more on the gradual acquisition of skill than raw natural talent.
Kai is also keen to pursue outdoor climbing - on a recent trip to Spain he climbed Era Vella - a route which even adult professional climbers find challenging.
Climbing folk will know it’s a 5.14d graded climb in the Yosemite Decimal System.
Kai's mum Connie, nevertheless is insisting that he maintain his straight ‘A’ student record.
Kai and Connie both live in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Do you have an all-or-nothing kid?
BODY:
Christchurch psychologist Mike McKinney tells Kathryn Ryan it's often helpful for parents to look at their own motivations and expectations.
EXTENDED BODY:
Do you have an all-or-nothing kid?
Christchurch psychologist Mike McKinney tells Kathryn Ryan it’s often helpful for parents to look at their own expectations and motivations.
Who has the all-or-nothing personality – the child or the parent? Or do they tend to come in pairs?
I think that’s a very good question and the latter point is of real relevance to us. To understand the children, what’s happening for them, we often have to look at the parents and where they’ve come from and how they’re going through their life. We often see that the parents have very high expectations and like to achieve themselves. Of course that flows through to the children, the family and how it’s set up.
Without getting stuck in another nature-nurture debate, do we see often from quite early this particular personality style?
For me the interesting thing [about competitiveness] is how is that shaped or how is that balanced. Indeed, does it become balanced? In families we start to shape things because it fits with the values of the family, the goals of the family, so certain traits can become more pronounced over time.
What is characteristic of these children? What are the sorts of behaviours that identify them?
The key things are the narrowing of focus or the singular focus on particular things – this can be playing sport, doing ballet, learning the violin, academic work. The rest of the world starts to get shut out somewhat because there’s this goal in front of you. We’re talking about children becoming goal-directed at a young age and the focus starts shifting towards achievement.
Do they often tend to be the kids who are doing sport, violin, study and everything else?
High achievers are well known for having multiple talents. I recently talked to a parent about his son who was doing many things. Six days a week he had after-school programmes. I said to the dad, ‘How does he feel about this workload?’ And the dad just looked at me and said ‘I don’t know. I haven’t asked him’. I sometimes wonder who is this in service of. Is it for the child or is it about achievement [being] valued highly in the family?
When [children] lose the innate joy of what they’re doing – is that something you might want to have a think about?
We’re talking about intrinsic and extrinsic motivators here. For a lot of young people it begins by wanting to please, meet the goals of the family… we know these are very powerful things for young children. Over time they begin to take it on board themselves – ‘This is who I am. This is what I need to do.’ The difficulty comes when good isn’t good enough anymore. The issue of perfectionism starts to rear its head and that can become a real double-edged sword. High standards stop being a motivator and become a driver.
Is perfectionism a step above what we’re talking about? What might you see with that kind of kid?
One of the issues with perfectionism is people who have these traits keep setting the goals higher and higher. And they take it on board themselves so they don’t feel like they’ve succeeded unless they’ve done very, very well. Then we come back to the idea of who are they doing this for?
Even before that, what are some of the symptoms you’ve got an all or nothing kid and what are some of the strategies you’d suggest?
In terms of identifying what’s going on it’s about looking at how are they relating to these things? Is it something they’re feeling comfortable about or are you noticing there’s a level of trepidation or anxiety coming in?
Particularly with teenagers, there’s a couple of anxiety aspects that tend to stand out and one of them is the performance part. The other one is fear of negative evaluation, where they’re starting to compare themselves unhealthily to other people – peers, family members – and they’re not feeling like they’re good enough. It’s important to watch out for these signs and try to engage them in conversations about what’s going on. Why is the tension, why is the stress coming about?
Is that where those open questions will start to give you an indication of what is driving your particular child?
I think so. It’s about working with them, being beside them and noticing what they’re doing. We need to have those open conversations, but we also need to be involved in each others lives. Not the helicopter parent type thing, but some open forum where you can discuss what’s going on. This isn’t saying don’t achieve, don’t challenge yourself. [The trouble starts] when children lose that sense that a mistake is not the same as failure.
How do you go about building in resilience and acceptance of not always getting what you aim for as part of a healthy learning style?
In part of my book I talk about the ‘nothing’ aspect. This is where people are so focused that if they don’t reach what they want, they give up, they stop. It’s overwhelming, they can’t handle it or the pressure is too great so they pull back from it. But also fear of failure gets in the way, so sometimes they don’t even start to do things. It’s about talking with these young people and saying the process is quite important.
As you get feedback along the way and we give you feedback, it’s to problem-solve, it’s to help you see where you can fine-tune, you can adapt. All or nothing individuals tend to see feedback as meaning they’re not there, they haven’t got it, it’s not right. We have to help them understand feedback is a positive thing and we can work with it. A key aspect is helping them to understand that being flexible with how they see themselves and relate to things is important.
Psychological inflexibility traps people into only seeing one way. The only thing they can is push harder, go further. And it comes, sometimes, at the cost of health.
Often this happens within a family environment and be influenced or exacerbated by a parent’s own behaviour. What questions do you need to ask yourself?
I think it’s looking at what drives us. Schemas — the core beliefs we develop about ourselves, what’s important — are laid down very early. As parents, it’s asking how have I gone about things? Am I doing this because I want to be famous, I want to be rich or because I actually enjoy it? Research is showing that folks who do well in their jobs and succeed are ones that are engaged, not driven to be the best.
The other matter is overscheduling. How important is that to a child or an adolescent, leaving some space in their schedule?
It is because it’s easy to get overwhelmed. What adolescents and children are struggling with is creating their own identity. And they’re growing physically at great rates. If there is no time to stop and catch your breath, what you’re teaching them is that the only way to get ahead is to be fully focused, don’t stop or else you won’t make it. The problem comes when the young people get into this dichotomous way of seeing the word – “I’m either this, full-on and achieving all the time, or I’m not good enough, I’m nobody.”
It’s not about saying you can’t achieve or you shouldn’t achieve or you shouldn’t challenge yourself. It’s about looking at the ideas and saying maybe there’s a range of factors here and if we can learn to understand when they’re coming into play we can dial them down a bit.
I use the metaphor of a light switch. You turn it on, you’ve got light in the room, you turn it off, you’ve got no light. What I’m suggesting is we can put a dimmer switch on that and that dimmer switch allows us to adjust the level of energy to what’s required at the time. It doesn’t always have to be full-on or full-off.

Steven Elers is a lecturer from the School of Communication, and he's behind the push for change.
EXTENDED BODY:
A Massey University lecturer is calling for the institution to look at changing its name, after research has revealed racist comments made by the former Prime Minister it is named after.
William Ferguson Massey was Prime Minister of New Zealand between 1912 and 1925.
Researcher Steven Elers says that Massey's remarks were not unusual for his time, and in fact were widely-held beliefs, but it is not appropriate for the university to be named after someone who spread a damaging rhetoric in the public sphere.
Two quotes attributed to William Massey include:
"I am not a lover or admirer of the Chinese race. I should be one of the very first to insist on very drastic legislation to prevent them coming here in numbers."
"Nature intended New Zealand to be a white man's country, and it must be kept as such."
William Massey also enacted legislation in 1920 called the Immigration Restriction Act that restricted non-white people from entering New Zealand.
While Elers is calling for a name change, he would like to see a wider discussion around the issue first.
"I’m not saying we have to do it. I’m saying let’s bring it out in the open, let’s acknowledge history, because you look at the Massey University website, the biography of William Ferguson Massey mentions none of this. Let’s bring it out in the open."

It's generally around this time of the year when magpies get quite feisty and aggressive.
The introduced species is considered a pest but is also one of the smarter ones in the bird world.
Lynn MacDonald from New Zealand Bird Rescue in Auckland says there are some simple techniques to keep the birds at bay.
If you’re cycling and wearing a helmet – put eyes on the back of it.
“It stops the magpies swooping in and of course and this only occurs while they’re trying to protect their babies. Big round eyes, the bigger the better.”
And if you’re walking in the city try putting an umbrella up.
Most magpies will get over this phase as soon as their babies are out of the nest, Lynn says.
The magpie is a very smart bird, but is considered a pest. Lynn says there’s no wonder they feel at home, because we’ve made them at home by clearing land.
“Big paddocks surrounded by tall trees; that’s magpie country.”

This Way Up - Let Them Fish
BODY:
Not too many people go on holiday to Fiji and see a way to change other people's lives for the better. But 17-year-old Finn Ross went fishing there and saw how local people were struggling with old or broken fishing gear and the problems this was causing. So Finn and his mate Max Lichtenstein decided to do something about it. They set up a charity called Let Them Fish that's collecting hundreds of second-hand reels and rods, kilometres of fishing line, and lots of diving stuff here in New Zealand and sends it off to people who need it in Fiji and Tonga. There's currently collection points at nine fishing shops in Auckland, Tauranga and Whangarei, and they have plans to take the idea nationwide. This Way Up's Simon Morton went to see how it works.

1.15 Major Blow for Clark's UN Bid
A major blow for Helen Clark's bid to become the next secretary general of the UN. A late contender from Bulgaria might be the final nail in the coffin for our former Prime Minister as there's a school of thought that an Eastern European woman would keep a lot of members happy. Kristalina Georgieva has thrown her hat in the ring this morning with the official nomination from her government. She's also a EU budget commissioner and for many who are voting in the contest ticks a number of boxes as a preferred region and gender to take over from Ban Ki-moon. Her nomination comes just days after a poor straw poll for Helen Clark where she slipped to 7th place out of 9 candidates. Mark Leon Goldberg is the Editor of the UN and global affairs blog the UN dispatch also the host of global dispatch's podcast.

Len Brown regrets not pushing the Government harder on housing
BODY:
Auckland's outgoing mayor Len Brown says he regrets not pushing the government harder to build more houses. He speaks to Todd Niall about his triumphs and regrets running NZ's biggest city.
EXTENDED BODY:
Auckland mayor Len Brown says he is leaving office wishing he'd pushed the government harder on the city's housing crisis and tackling homelessness.
Mr Brown was farewelled by councillors at his final meeting today, after two terms as the first mayor of the amalgamated Auckland Council.
He told RNZ's Todd Niall he did not think he had put all the heat he could have on the government, and it should be doing more on housing.
"But this is a government that made it very clear that they won't intervene openly in the marketplace - previous government's built, or have worked closely in building, and this one won't," Mr Brown said.
He said homelessness in particular needed more attention.
"I'm pleased to see programmes with the government and with Lifewise and the City Mission, where we have good projects up and running, but it's five years too late."
Mr Brown said there were times he wished he had been the Minister of Housing, rather than the mayor.
"Perhaps in the next term, and with a new council and new mayor, they can be more proactive with the government, in particular."
Mr Brown said he would not seek any future role connected with the council.
He said he would initially work with groups in south Auckland, and perhaps get involved with technology start-up companies.
