Stoked to compete this weekend at the NZ speed climbing Nationals. Humbled to see how fast athletes can be when they specialize in this sport, grateful to see it in person too. Great to compete and see the Aussie's over and how fast they are! Loads of athletes getting PB's including my fellow masters competitors. Also set myself a new fastest time 17.509 now all we need is a speed wall to train on in Auckland.... Next challenge. Thanks to BOpsca and NZ climbing for putting on the event
Mila had a great first time competing at the NZ national speed climbing comp!!! She did so well. Having only just topped for the first time last week she spent every run getting a new PB! Super proud 🥲 Mila also did great competing in the under 13s category despite her younger age and size, what a little legend
Huge thanks to @bopsca.nz and Roi for all the mahi opening and running the speed wall at Mount Maunganui 🙌 Took the kids down for a go—Archer had a crack and Mila topped the K route 💪🔥and set her own pb.
Stoked to see some improvement… moving from 26 seconds last year to 17, now just wishing we had our own holds to train on in Auckland 😅
Such a fun day and so many awesome young climbers absolutely crushing it. Best of luck to everyone heading into Oceania Champs and Nationals next weekend! 👊🧗♂️ Hope to be there too to catch all the action 🥇🌟🌟

Mila and I had the absolute pleasure of competing in the new Auckland Regional Climbing Competition 🧗♂️🧗♀️
I headed into Masters for both Bouldering and Top Rope, with Mila competing in Top Rope as well 💪
We both loved the comp format and the energy brought by all the competitors and supporters 🔥🙌
Mila made finals and walked away with an awesome 4th place 🏅👏
I… may have slightly messed up my sequence on the Top Rope finals climb 😅✂️ cutting it shorter than planned — but that’s comp life!
Bouldering was a blast as always, and I managed to walk away with 1st place 🥇🤩 — super stoked on that result!
The body’s starting to feel better 🤞 so long may that continue.
Massive thanks to @zahnay_adventurer for being the most awesome human alive 💛✨
Ngā mihi koutou, see you next year for redemption 😤🔥 @extremeedgenz
