Hi and welcome to Wall Walkers!
I am originally from and grew up in Brisbane but went to Vancouver, Canada when I was 20 where I spent almost 5 years in total. After that, I moved to Shanghai, China where I spent the next 7/8 years.
I love new challenges and adventure, two qualities which I'm sure drew me to Climbing!
I first started climbing in China at indoor bouldering/climbing gyms but quickly progressed to outdoor sport climbing when a friend introduced me to Lion Rock in Linan, close to Hangzhou (临安区龙上狮子岩).
LongShang (name of the village) is a beautiful little village with an amazing bamboo forest. It comes straight up to the base of the climbing wall as you climb. In certain spots, you climb straight out of the forest to get an amazing view over the top of the bamboo and straight down into the valley and village.
I met many great people and climbers here and was sad to leave, however, I am now looking forward to my new adventure with Wall Walkers.
Come down and say hi.
