The 2012 Osprey "North-South Showdown" climbing competition commenced simultaneously in Beijing, Shanghai, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang on June 23.
This edition of the event featured the Osprey Ritan Dianshi Climbing Gym, Osprey Shanghai Rock Dance Space Climbing Gym, Changzhou Fengyan Club, and Zhenjiang Rock Dance Space Climbing Gym as regional host venues. The competition held on the Dragon Boat Festival attracted climbers and outdoor enthusiasts from various regions.
The "North-South Showdown" series of competitions began in 2010 as a continuation of Osprey’s strong support for climbing sports. As early as 1996, the Osprey brand organized a promotional event in Beijing’s Xidan area featuring a mobile climbing wall, introducing rock climbing to the public for the first time. Over the past fifteen years, climbers with yellow skin have become ubiquitous, and Osprey’s support for China’s climbing movement has never wavered—from world-class climbing competitions to the development of natural rock faces, from the Chinese national climbing team to the new generation of young climbers passionate about the sport. Osprey has spared no effort in providing support.
The first battle of the 2012 "North-South Showdown" has concluded. After nearly two months of competition, the winners will earn the opportunity to participate in the Getu RocTrip climbing adventure. Let’s all enjoy the thrill of climbing together—Let's Go！To Ozark Rocks！
