The QAA freestyle climbing comp at Tambourine showgrounds was a sensational day of camaraderie and great organisation.

The Australian Arbor Age spent a very pleasant day spectating and shooting the QAA freestyle climbing comp at Tambourine in Queensland, and while there’ll be a full report in the October/November issue, here’s a list of placegetters on the day.

A huge thanks to the QAA, Vermeer Australia and all the sponsors, the volunteers, and everyone involved. We can’t wait for the next one.
