they’re in the same group for bouldering. The way it works is you have to sit in folding chairs while you wait your turn. The folding chairs are all in a row facing away from the wall. That’s so you can’t see the handholds or learn from what the other kids are doing. No sharing beta in a competition.
it’s super interesting the glimpse into the world of climbing …. i also feel like the way the author breaks it down in the voice of child is super effective
