Photo: Deb wall walks Open 23.3. One of my favourite moments during the Open. Deb fought with all she had to complete 23.3 RXD. With multiple misses she did not falter in attitude or perseverance. She trusted Dob, took coaching advice and achieved so much. Thank you Grant_a_w – I was hoping someone else was witnessing the same thing as me.
