Katharina Saurwein won at last
In the bouldering elimination for women Katharina Saurwein won after some dramatic minutes when the rain started to poor down just before the final block, which is pictured. Now everyone is going for the party and that should just please Katharina as -... hanging out with people is the best thing in my climbing life.
Katharina won the Youth World Championship in 2006 and she is #4 in the Boulder WC in 2008. Complete updated report from the Arco Rock Master on the Global page. All pics by mobile camera posted within 30 minutes of each comp.
