陳翔志

English

Chan Cheung-chi (Shoji), born 27 July 1995, is a Hong Kong sport climbing athlete, 1.70 m tall, specialising in boulder and lead and among the territory's best-known climbers. He first tried rock climbing at sixteen while in junior secondary school, initially just for fun, but the sense of achievement on reaching the top became the starting point of a lifelong commitment to the sport. In 2017 the 13th National Games introduced sport climbing as a mass-participation event, and Chan won the men's boulder final, one of the few Hong Kong climbers to take a national multi-sport Games title. In February 2023 he won the men's Open at a climbing competition in Macau. In 2025 he competed in the climbing events at the 15th National Games, qualifying eighth for the men's lead final and finishing seventh with a score of 44. Afterwards he said the route was not especially hard in itself but its length tested stamina and rhythm. Xinhua described him, still a player at thirty, as a fun-loving youth, noting his growing concern for the future of Hong Kong climbing: local climbing resources have increased, he says, but development still lags behind the mainland. He has long been a fixture in the Hong Kong, China Mountaineering and Climbing Union elite squad, selected for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 squads in boulder and lead, and continues to represent Hong Kong at the Asian Games and other major events.
