In reply to dale1968: It was a pleasure and an honour to watch all of the Para-climbers in Paris. They were truly inspirational. The crowd were amazing - going completely quiet during the VI climbers attempts and then erupting with cheers. The noise during the Amputee final was amazing.

That's really cool, good for Fran!

The video was a bit fuzzy to see the holds, but some looked pretty small - anyone know what kind of grade these climbs are?

In reply to Graeme Alderson: I was really impressed that the IFSC had included the para climbing in the main event and not just tagged on at the end. This is such a set forward for disabled sport and something that has shown that climbing accepts all climbers. Well done.
