Describe
your climbing background:
I joined a climbing association in University and
became more and more interested in it. Later on climbing
became my career.
Describe a climbing experience when things got out
of hand:
I climbed a mixed trad route with two pitches in
Spain. The first pitch was 7b+ and I finished it
easily. The second pitch was 8a+ and it had two fixed
quickdraws at the very end that looked very difficult
to reach. The route was severely overhanging and
the quickdraws were far away with no pro between
my belayer, still at the first anchor and me. It
seemed hopeless, but I finally tried very hard and
clipping the quickdraws for passage to the top of
the climb.
What are you up to when you’re
not climbing?
Opening a climbing gym so I can teach kids how to
climb.
Any training advice or suggestions?
Do not rush but take time and make progress gradually
so as not to get hurt.
How do you see climbing evolving in the next five
years?
There will be more and more people getting involved
and probably it will become one of the events in
Olympics Games.
Any near death experiences?
I was training at Longtan Lake and my belayer didn’t
use his Grigri properly so I fell 14-meters to the
ground.
Are you a fan of climbing history? Explain?
Yes. I’d like to know more about climbing,
including the history, development of climbing, how
to define the levels as well as the touching stories
of climbers.
What are your future plans or goals in climbing?
Keep challenging my own limits and climb more difficult
traditional routes and go bouldering. Develop the
natural resources and put up more routes in China.
Improve my abilities and design more wonderful
routes for competition. Of course, I hope to improve
my grades in the competition.
