The Climbing Challenge, along with Mountain Biking and Badminton, form the Individual Pursuits Sports Series in the Aberdeen Corporate Decathlon.
The Sport: Climbing was first heralded as a sport in England in the late 1880s after a well publicised solo ascent of the Napes Needle in Cumbria by Walter Parry Haskett Smith. Since then, rock climbing has attracted increasing numbers of participants.
The Challenge: This event will include a variety of set challenges, designed by the pro's at Transition Extreme's iconic climbing centre. Each team will receive a minimum of 1 practice session coached by Transition's expert staff.
Never been rock climbing before? If not, this is your chance to try an extreme sport in the relative safety of the indoor, artificial structures instead of the real thing!
