Day Four was the speed finals, we headed down to the outdoor speed wall to hang out for the day. The team went around swapping t-shirts with other teams and talking to some of the competitors making new friends. It was a fun day in the sun, and a great day to finish the comp.
This blog is for family and friends to keep up to date with the team's progress. You can find out how their training is going, read climber profiles and get a day to day update of the competition in Austria.

Day Three
Everyone had down to the lead wall to watch Axel in the semi-finals. He was out 7th, and climbed well, everyone one was proud of him. After the Semi's we all went back to the hotel for a little nap (not in mine, Mel and Zoe's room, everyone wanted to hang out here, no nap for me!)
Back down to the lead wall to watch the finals, which was so cool. Watching to top guns do their thing. The climbing was outstanding, it makes you want to go home and train your hardest and then maybe be we can be up there with them! The finals was a show, and the climbers are the entertainers, and they did entertain. This is how all the big comps are over in Europe, they make them a show so people come and watch, and are happy to pay money to watch the climbers. Value for money!
This would be nice to see in Australia, but it takes time and lots money.

Team Dinner
After the speed climbing on day two we went out for dinner as a team. Had lots of fun eating the best pizza and some people got to taste a snail!
WYC Day 2
Well everyone got to do their second climb today. Everyone said the routes were so cool and had lots of fun. It was a long day, and we are tired. Axel made the semi-final, so we are back at the wall tomorrow to cheer on your Aussie team mate.

WYC Day 1
What a fun day. The team did really well. We had a few ups and downs, but they all did there best. They all have one more climb tomorrow, which I am sure they will do there best again. Its always more relaxing the 2nd climb. I loved how they all got behind each other, who ever was on the wall from Australia the team was cheering for them, it was such great feel.
