Impressions:
As I'm not a fan of sports in real life, I don't have much interest in sports fiction either. However, I rather enjoyed this series. There's a lot more depth to rock climbing than I would've thought. I like how each of the characters have their respective gimmicks and that plays into how the matches play out. Our lead Konomi has a remarkable analytical ability, but lacks the physical training to make the most of it, so that's what she has to work on. There are a lot of challenges along the way not just for Konomi but her teammates as well. They have a good group dynamic and a colorful cast of rivals as well. It's a good watch and I definitely recommend it. It may even make a rock climber out of you.
