WALL CLIMBING

-Power Up Alabang hosted the 2nd leg of the YWF Climbing series. For this leg of the series, we used the Top Rope climbing format, which may be new to some of our team members. Climbers were given 2 hours to complete as many routes as possible, with the goal of reaching the top or climbing as high as they could on each route. The climbers' performance during this period determined the winners of this round of the competition. In addition to the main competition, a side competition for the fastest climber was held before the award ceremony. This event allowed climbers to compete against the clock, adding an extra layer of excitement and challenge to the day. 

Congratulations to all the climbers for their incredible efforts!

Climb Central Manila will be the host of the 3rd leg on April 12 for bouldering and top rope climbing.
