Climbing
目标是从从容容、游刃有余
I aim to train as a climbing instructor. For this purpose, I am an active member of the British Mountaineering Council and a Mountain Training Association trainee. My short-term goal is to qualify as a Climbing Wall Instructor (CWI) by 2026, followed by Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) certification by 2030.
Bouldering
creativity, imagination, falling, landing
I enjoy boulders as they have been always creative and bold,
