North Maluku rock climbing team manager Ramdani Ali said the 2025 National Age Group Rock Climbing Championship at the Tangerang City Sport Climbing Center, Tangerang, Banten, is a momentum to test abilities.
According to him, the national event held by the Central Board of the Rock Climbing Federation was the right place to test the training results of the four athletes from the province so that they could find out the extent of their abilities that had been trained so far.
"Our target this year or at least until December is to try to get medals in other championships, but the national championship here is indeed a learning stage for young athletes," said the man who is also the Daily Chair of FPTI Malut at the location of the national championship.
He explained that FPTI in his province is developing young rock climbing athletes in the area.
Even though there are still minimal facilities and infrastructure for training, the enthusiasm of the administrators continues to burn for the sake of contributing achievements for the province and the country in the future.
"Our preparation is indeed minimal because FPTI Malut has only been formed for 3 months, so the target is indeed to test our ability to come to the national championship," he said.
Ramdani added that so far the athletes have been utilizing the facilities owned by one of the universities for training.
