Iwa Kakeru! Anime to Debut in October, New Trailer & Cast

Wall-Climbing is not just a simple sport that needs sweat; it is also a sport that requires an intense level of problem-solving power. One needs to evaluate every step they take to reach the top.

When Konomi discovers this sport in her first year at Hanamiya Girls’ High School, her life changes and she decides to put her years of experience as a puzzle solver to use in real life and on a much bigger scale.

The official website of Iwa Kakeru! Sports Climbing Girls has released the first promotional video for the anime. The anime will premiere in October 2020.
