Believe it or not, but there are people out there who can scale a massive wall quicker than some people can even write down their name.

The IFSC Climbing World Cup took place in Xianmen, China, this past weekend, and what a weekend it was for Aries Susanti Rahayu of Indonesia. Not only did the 24-year-old sport climber capture the gold medal in the women’s category, but she captured the title by setting a new world record.

Even though China's Yi Ling Song got off to a slow start in the championship round, it probably didn’t matter anyways as Aries scaled the wall in 6.995 seconds.
