The story takes place in China from 2023 to 2025. Rock climbing has become an official Olympic sport, but it is still a "niche favorite" - the group of professional athletes is small, the outdoor rock climbing circle has more "circle culture" characteristics, and the two tracks of competition and outdoor are both independent and intertwined.
Competitive climbing circle: It is divided into three major events: speed competition, difficulty competition, and bouldering competition. The competition is led by the "China Climbing Association (CMA)". The top competitions are the "National Rock Climbing Championship" and "China Climbing League (CL)". The champion can be selected into the national team to participate in the Asian Games and Olympic Games. Professional players mostly sign with clubs and rely on sponsors to survive. Competition is fierce and the risk of injury is high.
