Rock Era: Born Upwards

Background: In 202X, domestic rock climbing has entered a period of "breaking the circle" - the State Sports General Administration has launched the "Rock Climbing League System" (including indoor speed competitions, difficulty competitions, bouldering competitions, and outdoor natural rock wall challenges). Commercial sponsorships have poured in, and amateur rock climbing gyms have become popular in first- and second-tier cities. However, there is an obvious gap in professional talent. The conflict between the concepts of the older generation of rock climbers (mostly outdoor adventures) and the new generation of competitive athletes has intensified. At the same time, there is the hidden problem of some commercial capital intervening in the competition for traffic. Core scene: Linya City: A second-tier coastal city where the male protagonist lives. It not only has the country's top indoor rock climbing gym "Crag Era" (commercial operation, with both training and competition functions), but also has natural venues suitable for outdoor rock climbing such as the surrounding "Yuntai Mountain" and "Crescent Bay Rock Wall". It is one of the important venues for domestic rock climbing leagues. National Rock Climbing League: There are 6 regular seasons + 1 finals every year. The indoor competitions are held in venues in various cities. The outdoor competitions are mostly held on natural rock walls in the southwest and northwest. The finals prize pool reaches one million, and the champion can obtain the qualification for national team training. Outdoor rescue system: Due to the risks involved in natural rock climbing, a "rock climbing rescue alliance" has been gradually established in China, consisting of professional doctors and outdoor guides. They will be stationed at the scene with outdoor events and also undertake private rock climbing rescue tasks. Industry status: Professional players: Most come from sports colleges or club youth training, and a few are amateurs who came from "wild roads" (the male protagonist falls into this category);
