“Finally got my first win in open,” noted Lai after the comp. “So the training seems to be paying off. After a bit of a rough start to the day I managed to pull it all together to pull off the win with only a couple attempts ahead of 2nd place. On paper it might look as I easily cruised through qualifiers but the field is so close that if I had not finished the last problem I would have not made finals.
“It took me 12 attempts to finish the first six problems which would have put me out of finals. Fingers crossed for many more successful endeavors into climbing for me.” Follow the comp action on Instagram at GrippedMagazineComps and if you want us to share a photo use #grippedmagazine or #grippedmagazinecomps.
