Day 6 - Shanghai Rock Masters, continued



Me climbing much better on the second climb.





Minah and Tahlia perform tricks with the climbing wall and the skyscrapers in the background.





Minah and Tahlia with the winner of the Men's Lead competition Tomas Tauporn from Germany. Tomas and an Indonesian climber who came second in speed gave their flowers to the girls.


The sun was back out his morning so the competition was able to continue. I climbed much better today and finished 7th on this climb, and 10th overall! I was really happy with this result, up against some of the best climbers in the world. Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of our trip.

Carlie competed in the final event, the Classic Speed and climbed much better than she has so far. So we both finished happy. The finals of the Classic Speed was spectacular with a huge audience, TV cameras, spotlights, loud music and of course in China there must be huge fireworks!

Some Men's Speed Climbing action. The climber on the right is Abu Dzar from Indonseia, he came second and gave Tahlia his flowers.
