I had the chance to experience the excitement of a climbing competition called Rock Rally. I didn't compete in the competition, as I was still learning, but I had many opportunities to climb over the weekend event.

Each participant must complete as many climbs as possible and the points are added up at the end of the day according to the difficulty level of each climb.

I was able to take my time on some of the easier crags, as the competitors were trying to rack up points on the more challenging ones.

Some were there to compete, but many of the climbers prefer a more relaxed pace.

Wow! That's cool. I always wanted to do it, you know? but heights scare me a little. Also, I guess you trained for a long time to be able to do it, right?

You should totally try it! It's very easy to get into and the community is super supportive.

You can start by looking up sports climbing groups in your area, or even just look for an indoor climbing wall to see if you enjoy it first.
