This past week  I got the opportunity to compete in the 2019 National Youth Sport Climbing Championships, representing NSW. The competition itself was held over 3 days, from the 24th – 26th of May, with a different type of climbing competition on each day.

The disciplines I competed in were:

Lead –  where the climbs are on walls at least 12 metres tall, and the person who gets the highest wins
Speed – where the fastest person wins and
Boulder – where the climbs are on walls less than 4 metres, and the person to get to the top of the most climbs in the least attempts wins.

The days were long and stressful, but I was extremely happy with my results: 3rd in Lead, 2nd in Boulder and 2nd in Speed.  And Overall!

These results mean I am now eligible to represent Australia in the World Youth Championships in Arco, Italy in August!
