International climber Shivani Charak emerged as the standout performer, winning gold medals in lead and speed climbing and a silver in bouldering in the women’s category. In lead climbing, Shivani edged out Anvi Girish Mudgal (representing Delhi) with a faster timing of 2.18 minutes versus Anvi’s 5.17. She followed it up with a dominant gold in speed climbing and a silver in bouldering despite limited recent practice.
