Before the wild cocks, sorry rocks, getting too cold to “handle”, our Beijing Boxer Hash is coming to its 200th run! Getting to this number has certainly been an uphill climb. The hashers who have braved the Boxer’s trails are rock-hard adventurers! To celebrate finally making it, we’re having a rock-climbing Boxer!

About the running and walking trails:

Running trail will be about 6km, elevation rise 700m.

Walking trail will be about 4km, elevation rise 400m.

 

About the climbing trail:

The climbing route goes up the rock.

And don’t worry, there will be a rope! An experienced coach will be belaying the climbers and giving instruction. There will be 2-3 routes, depending on the number of people who sign up for climbing.

The wall we will be climbing is called Huoyanshan (combustion fire mountain).

Feeling scared? Actually, this may sound like unbelievable, but rock climbing is one of the safest sports compared with more mainstream ones. According to Google*, >400 sport-specific injury studies were analysed and compared by quantifying the injury incidence and objectively grading the injury severity (using the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics score) per 1000 hours of sporting participation. Fatalities were also analysed**. The analysis revealed that fatalities occurred in all sports, but it was not always clear whether the sport itself or pre-existing health conditions contributed or caused the deaths. Bouldering (ropeless climbing to low heights), sport climbing (mostly bolt protected lead climbing with little objective danger) and indoor climbing (climbing indoors on artificial rock structures), showed a small injury rate, minor injury severity and few fatalities. As more objective/external dangers exist for alpine and ice climbing, the injury rate, injury severity and fatality were all higher. Overall, climbing sports had a lower injury incidence and severity score than many popular sports, including basketball, sailing or soccer; indoor climbing ranked the lowest in terms of injuries of all sports assessed. (End of the cite).

 

We are doing the safest one, sport climbing. But still, it will be absolutely cool!
