I’ve been rock climbing since I was 8, and I’ve been doing it competitively since I was 12. I’m currently and have been previously nationally ranked. I put most of my time and effort into, but I don’t let it weaken my grades. The most I’ve taken off in the last five years is a week due to an injury. I’m also captain of my climbing team, and I spend a month in the summer camping and climbing outside. I was wondering if this part of my life would help in college admissions.
Most definitely. It’s a rare sporting (to my knowledge), and better yet, you love it.
